Georgia Bulldogs defensive back Malaki Starks has been named as the top returning sophomore at the safety position. Georgia is coming off winning back-to-back national championships. Starks played a big role as a true freshman in Georgia’s 2022 national championship-winning season.
Starks made a critical tackle against Missouri in Georgia’s close win over the Tigers. The former five-star recruit is expected to start at safety alongside Javon Bullard for the 2023 college football season.
Bleacher Report notes that Malaki Starks was excellent against the pass and the run as a true freshman.

Malaki Starks finished his true freshman campaign with 69 total tackles, two interceptions, and seven pass deflections.
Starks will have to adapt to life without Christopher Smith as a sophomore, so he will have to be more of a leader in 2023 as Georgia looks to win a third consecutive national championship.
Starks did misjudge a pass play against Florida, but overall his freshman season was outstanding. Starks has incredible athleticism and came out of the gates strong against the Oregon Ducks in Atlanta.
The Alabama Crimson Tide defeated the Georgia Bulldogs for a sixth time in a row on Saturday night. The series has been frustrating for Georgia fans who feel like they can’t catch a break versus the Crimson Tide.
Georgia lost 41-24 and blew yet another halftime lead against Alabama. Stetson Bennett threw three interceptions, struggled with battled down passes, and provided a few big plays, but failed to have consistent good ball placement.
Georgia is now 3-1, while Alabama moves to 4-0 and is the only remaining undefeated team in the SEC. Georgia will have a small margin of error for the rest of the season. The Bulldogs can’t afford to lose another game and expect to make the College Football Playoff. Georgia has a bye week upcoming.
