Georgia Football Scouting Reports

Jalon Walker, LB

Jalon Walker’s projection to the NFL is extremely unique. He has the build and athletic tools of an inside linebacker but found success at Georgia by being deployed primarily as a blitzing pass rusher and attacking SAM-backer.

A prospect as athletic as Walker will likely find a successful role in the NFL, but there are debates surrounding what the best role for him is. Walker doesn’t have high-end gap instincts or coverage ability, nor does he have the size to consistently set the edge and encumber duo blocks.

That said, he’s an explosive QB spy and pursuit threat, a capable pull slabber, and a wide-alignment menace with a sound speed-to-power profile. In the right defensive system with a creative, forward-thinking defensive coordinator, Walker can flourish.

Malaki Starks, S

Malaki Starks has many of the tools needed to be a high-level starter at the NFL level. He’s a well-built safety with a large catch radius and the versatility to play across the secondary. His intelligence allows him to thrive in various alignments, and he’s battle-tested as a three-year starter for a blue-blood program.

In coverage, Starks has the athleticism to cover a considerable amount of space and the processing skills to act quickly upon his reads. He aims to disrupt plays when the ball is thrown in his direction, and he can crowd WRs in nickel as well.

As a solid tackler to add onto his abilities in coverage, Starks should project well as a true starting safety with nickel versatility. Cutting down on moments of inconsistency in blind spot IQ and block take-on will be key in unlocking his full potential.

Mykel Williams, EDGE

Mykel Williams has the ideal size and length to project seamlessly as a defensive end in a base 4-3 system. His explosiveness off the line of scrimmage is impressive, and while his pass-rush arsenal is relatively raw, he’s capable of winning as a pass rusher on stunts and with speed-to-power.

Williams pairs his elite physical attributes with a red-hot motor and an assignment-sound, role-disciplined imprint in run defense. Williams could be a player who starts slow in the NFL as a pass-rush producer, but he has tremendous growth potential.

He can be weaponized on stunts right away with his burst, power, and hip flexibility, and his high floor as a run defender insulates his profile with additional security.

Tate Ratledge, OG

Tate Ratledge’s evaluation involves a lot of back-and-forth, but he undoubtedly has a path to becoming a solid if unspectacular NFL starter. A two-time National Champion with 37 starts at right guard to his name, experience is a strength of Ratledge’s, but the 24-year old rookie also missed time to lower-body injuries multiple times in his career.

He’s an elite athlete with rare explosiveness, agility, and second-level mobility, but at almost 6’7″, with arms just over 32″, his build is a bit unorthodox. He plays taller than preferred, and can be coaxed into lurching with his average reach, and those two issues can impact his balance and leverage.

Nevertheless, Ratledge makes up for these flaws with his athleticism, football IQ, flexibility, and grating physicality, and he should be able to carve out a respectable starting career.

Jared Wilson, OC

Jared Wilson projects as a high-upside starter in the NFL. While he is still raw as just a one-year starting center, the three-star Bulldogs recruit has the athleticism and natural leverage to be one of the first pure center prospects off the board in the 2025 NFL Draft.

The 6’3”, 310-pound starter has a strong base and impressive hand usage while also possessing the fluid mobility to work in space. Despite his athleticism, his footwork can be a bit slow and plodding in pass protection, and overall, he’ll need to up his play pace to survive down in and down out at the NFL level. But in the Day 2 range, Wilson’s elite physical upside and good baseline awareness is worth taking a gamble on.

Dylan Fairchild, OG

Dylan Fairchild is a powerful and technically sound offensive lineman with the versatility to excel at guard or tackle. Known for his physicality and aggression, he can at times be over-aggressive, which can hurt his technique and positioning.

Nevertheless, Fairchild’s quick feet and balanced stance make him effective in pass protection, where he handles speed rushers and anchors well against power. He also has a high football IQ and some projected positional flexibility, having been a two-way player in high school.

Fairchild can be a bit stiff at times when redirecting laterally, but as a blocker with solid baseline mobility, power, and strength, as well as 24 starts against SEC competition to his name, he profiles as a respectable middle-round add.

Smael Mondon Jr., LB

Smael Mondon is an intelligent and experienced linebacker with 212 total tackles over four seasons as a starter for the Bulldogs. Standing at 6’3” and 235 pounds, he combines stellar athleticism with reliable coverage skills, making him a versatile asset for NFL teams. Although he missed time in 2024 due to a foot injury, which may impact his draft stock, Mondon’s ability to stay tight in coverage and disrupt routes will intrigue NFL teams.

Demonstrating that he is a strong tackler with the speed and range to pursue rushers, the Georgia linebacker has the skill set that makes him adaptable to a variety of defensive schemes at the next level.
