Check out The Smylie Show on SportsGrid

Carson Beck, QB (Georgia)

Carson Beck is one of the top quarterbacks in the country and is a legitimate candidate to be a top five pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. Beck struggled against Alabama for large chunks of the SEC Championship last year. How will he respond in 2024?

Ryan Williams, WR (Alabama)

If there's one player on the Crimson Tide that really gives them an edge, it's wideout Ryan Williams. Williams is one of the most explosive weapons in the country, and is just scratching the surface of what he's capable of. 

Malaki Starks, DB (Georgia)

The leader on defense for the Georgia Bulldogs remains Malaki Starks. He's going to be tasked with shutting down a Crimson Tide passing game that has the potential to be very explosive. Starks continues to show up in these big spots and raise his ceiling as a prospect. 

Jam Miller, RB (Alabama)

Jam Miller has had a strong start to the season as the top running back for the Crimson Tide. If Miller and the offensive line can establish some sort of rhythm early on, it could be a long night for a strong Georgia front on defense.

Jalon Walker, LB (Georgia)

Jalon Walker has been an emerging star for the Georgia Bulldogs this season. He can make life really difficult on Alabama's offensive line, and continues to raise his stock as one of the more cerebral players in the sport. 

Tyler Booker, OL (Alabama)

It's no secret that Alabama's offensive line is going to have their hands full against a very capable defensive front in Georgia. Giving Jalen Milroe time in the pocket is essential, and Tyler Booker can certainly do that. 

Mykel Williams, DL (Georgia)

Keep an eye on the status of Mykel Williams leading up to Saturday evening. Even if he's only active for half the snaps, Williams has the type of pop to his game where he can make an impact on Georgia's defensive line. 

Deontae Lawson, LB (Alabama)

Getting pressure on Carson Beck remains paramount for the Alabama Crimson Tide on Saturday night. Deontae Lawson has the skillset to really pop in this matchup, but will be tasked against a strong Bulldogs offensive line. 

Trevor Etienne, RB (Georgia)

If the Bulldogs hope to find success in this SEC matchup, they'll need to establish their running game early. Trevor Etienne has the ability to be a difference maker in this crucial game.
