The Georgia Bulldogs are starting to witness an infusion of NFL Draft choices for the 2024 season now that the Bulldogs’ 2023 campaign is over. Running back Kendall Milton, who said he will be entering the 2024 NFL Draft, is one of the most recent decisions.
Milton was a crucial component of the Bulldogs’ offence during their historic 29-game winning streak. He was also a dependable player in the running back room. 12 touchdowns, 686 yards, and 112 carries were his final stats for the 2023 campaign.
This is a live report of the roster changes as they occur, as players will be announcing their intentions in the next few days and weeks.
The Bulldogs’ top rusher, Edwards, finished with 880 yards. Milton rushed for two touchdowns in the Bulldogs’ 63-3 Orange Bowl victory over Florida State, capping a successful senior year.
Milton ran for 104 yards on only nine rushes on Saturday night, earning him the title of Orange Bowl MVP for No. 6 Georgia (13-1). With the two touchdowns, Milton’s season total of 14 points led the squad. With 790 rushing yards, he was second on the squad in the end.

Milton (6-1, 220) finished the season with three consecutive two-touchdown games, including a career high 156 rushing yards with two scores in a 31-23 win over Georgia Tech to close the regular season.
Milton announced his plans to enter the NFL draft on social media on Monday. “This has without a doubt been the best 4 years of my life,” he posted on X, formerly known as Twitter. “I have developed relationships that will last the rest of my life.”
Milton, who is from Fresno, California, thanked Georgia coaches “for taking a chance on the kid from Fresno.”
Edwards, also a senior, followed with his announcement later Monday, saying “it has been a blessing” to play for Georgia.
Edwards and Milton join offensive lineman Amarius Mims and defensive backs Kamari Lassiter, Javon Bullard and Tykee Smith in announcing plans to enter the NFL draft. Tight end Brock Bowers has not announced his plans.
