Tate Ratledge is a 6-foot-6, 310 pound senior offensive lineman from Rome, Ga. Last season, Ratledge started in 13 of 14 games and was named Second Team All-American by the AP, and he was also an AP and Coaches All-SEC First Team selection.

Malaki Starks, a 6-foot-1, 205-pound junior defensive back, is a native of Jefferson, Ga. Starks started in all 14 games for the Bulldogs last season and was named a First Team All-American by the AFCA, AP, CBS, ESPN, FWAA, Sports Illustrated, USA Today, and Walter Camp.
