Gone are the days of super running back Knowshon Moreno hurdling defenders, and Matt Stafford will never throw another touchdown in a Georgia uniform.

But don’t despair Bulldogs fans, there’s a new crop of players ready to get their chance to create their own legacy in Athens.

Along with the established standouts already looking to lead the Bulldogs, here’s a list of five Georgia players that are creating the most buzz among their teammates leading into today’s G-Day spring football game at Sanford Stadium.

It seems like most Bulldogs asked have a story to tell about the athletic prowess of this ball-hawking cornerback. Some talk about the way he can put the clamps down on what looks like a sure completion with his speed, or the way he can jump out of the gym playing basketball. According to sophomore wide receiver A.J. Green, the new strongside corner had the highest vertical leap on the team at 42 inches when tested recently. "You have to see Brandon on the basketball court dunking on people," Green said. "It’s amazing to see a guy that size get up that high." Boykin is going to be the guy to try and fill the shoes of Asher Allen, who departed earlier this year to enter the NFL Draft. Boykin appeared in all 13 games in 2008 for the Bulldogs.

Don’t let the guy’s pedestrian frame fool you. This freshman running back has been drawing oohs and ahhs all spring for the way he isn’t afraid to make contact with defenders who outweight him by 100 pounds. Richt says that former Georgia tailback Tyson Browning draws the closest comparison to Thomas with his size and agility. In fact, the way Thomas has played during the spring has made it an open competition with redshirt sophomore Caleb King for the coveted No. 1 spot in the backfield. "Carlton has incredible vision, and if he sees a hole he gets through it in a hurry," Bulldogs senior receiver Kris Durham said. "He’s running straight down hill and has hit it real well through the tackles."

Commings is listed as the backup to Boykin at cornerback on the strongside. Durham says that Commings also has that passion in his eyes that he wants to get on the field and make plays. Commings is an extremely athletic corner and is the biggest player at the position on Georgia’s roster. Commings appeared in three games with the Bulldogs in 2008. What makes Commings unique is his athletic background after coming to Georgia in hopes of trying to play outfield for the baseball team as well.

With only three career rushing attempts, it raised some eyebrows when he had 11 carries and a touchdown in a scrimmage at Sanford Stadium last Saturday. Richt says that Munzenmaier will get more chances to carry the ball in today’s spring game. Of course, the excess of carries was due to the limited availability of other running backs like tailbacks Richard Samuel and Dontavius Jackson who are out of action for spring ball. Still, Munzenmaier will be a valuable commodity in 2009, along with junior Shaun Chapas, as blocking backs.

Georgia needs a reliable target at tight end. The Bulldogs haven’t had a consistent target at tight end since Leonard Pope in 2005. White looks like he’ll be the go-to guy this fall, with Bruce Figgins and Bryce Ros listed as second and third respectively at tight end. White can help make the transition for fifth-year senior QB Joe Cox easier with his blocking ability on the line and pass catching ability.
