ESPN recently revealed their top 100 players in college football ahead of the 2026 season. Five Georgia Bulldogs are featured on the list and enter Week 1 with high expectations.
Ellis Robinson IV, Drew Bobo, Chris Cole, KJ Bolden and Gunner Stockton were the five Georgia football stars featured on ESPN’s top 100. Stockton is the highest ranked Bulldog at No. 31, followed by Bolden at No. 33. Cole is listed at No. 42, while Bobo and Robinson were unable to make the top 50.
Each Bulldog featured by ESPN will play a significant role at their respective positions across the 2026 season. Bobo was ranked at No. 56 on the list after being held out of the top 50, while Robinson was featured at No. 67. Bobo is widely regarded as one of the top centers in the nation entering the new season, and the big man's return will likely have a direct impact on both Stockton and Georgia’s offensive success as a whole.
Bolden and Robinson are widely regarded as one of the top defensive back duos in the nation entering 2026. Robinson is a rising star who led the SEC in interceptions (tied) as a freshman last season with four, while Bolden is a talented veteran who earned second-team All-SEC honors in 2025. The duo should dominate in the Dawgs’ secondary once again this season despite Robinson being held out of the top 50.
Cole is set to make a massive impact once again this year, as the linebacker was able to make his presence known across his standout sophomore season in 2025. UGA needs Cole to produce as a pass rusher. Each of the five Bulldogs featured in ESPN’s top 100 will likely flash their skills across the entire 2026 season, as Georgia continues to produce some of college football’s top talent on a yearly basis.
