Georgia is loaded with talent on the defensive side of the ball heading into next season, and one returning sophomore was named by the SEC Network’s Cole Cubelic as a potential breakout player in 2020.
Cubelic listed five SEC breakout candidates on defense via Twitter on Thursday night, and sophomore linebacker Nakobe Dean was inserted at No. 3 on the list.
Georgia returns 10 experienced linebackers from a year ago who all rotated downs throughout the season. Dean was a part of Georgia’s inside linebackers unit where Monty Rice and Tae Crowder served as the starters.
