College Football Network recently released their top 100 college football players for the 2024 season, with four Georgia Bulldogs players receiving national attention. Which standouts from behind the hedges in Athens were singled out for significant praise ahead of the 2024 college football campaign? Let’s find out!
Which Georgia Players Were Included in the CFN Top 100 College Football Players?
The NFL has recently turned to Georgia to handle the bulk of its talent manufacturing process. 2024 was no different, with eight players selected in the NFL Draft, including five players who were called in the first two rounds.
While that has certainly drained the number of players in the CFN Top 100, four players appear in the rankings with three in the top 50 — only Texas and Michigan have more than that (four each).

That includes the top-ranked QB in Carson Beck, who is at or near the top of any list of Heisman Trophy candidates you can find.
With revenge on their minds after missing last season’s College Football Playoff, Georgia enters the year as title favorites at Caesars Sportsbook (+320). Here’s what CFN College Football Analyst James Fragoza had to say about Georgia’s best players.
Carson Beck, QB (6th)
While Carson Beck isn’t the flashiest athlete or the biggest arm, he has the poise, anticipation, and layering ability of a future NFL QB. He passed for nearly 4,000 yards, 24 TDs, and six INTs last season and operates the collegiate bulldozer that is Georgia with the efficiency of a Tesla.
Malaki Starks, S (22nd)
Since 2022, Malaki Starks has registered five INTs and 14 PBUs, highlighting his playmaking ability in coverage. But he’s also one of the best tacklers in the nation and revels in crashing the box and forcing negative plays for the offense.
Tate Ratledge, G (36th)
Tate Ratledge stepped into the starting right guard role in 2022 and has been an immovable boulder there ever since. He is as reliable as they come in pass pro and isn’t averse to getting his nose dirty in the run game.
