Who are some Georgia players poised for a breakout season this fall?

247Sports writer Rusty Mansell (video above) highlights three Bulldogs who could have a big year in the SEC.

Those players are:

• Isaac Nauta, tight end. Nauta is 6-foot-3, 244 pound freshman early enrollee from Buford who attended IMG Academy in Bradenton, Fla. He is the roommate of fellow freshman and quarterback contender Jacob Eason.

Lorenzo Carter, linebacker. Coach Kirby Smart recruited Carter out Norcross while at Alabama.

Riley Ridley, wide receiver. Ridley, a freshman from Deerfield Beach, Fla., had some impressive catches during Georgia's spring game. Ridley's brother, Calvin, plays at Alabama.
