Georgia football's best transfer out for 2026 season with torn ACL
Georgia Bulldogs will be without their top transfer for the entire 2026 season. Edge rusher Amaris Williams tore his ACL in spring practice
The Georgia Bulldogs received some devastating injury news just days before their annual spring game . Auburn Tigers edge rusher transfer Amaris Williams suffered a torn ACL, making him likely to miss the rest of the season, according to Graham Coffey . Williams injured it in one of Georgia's final spring practices of the year on Tuesday.
Williams was ranked as the No. 6 defensive lineman transfer from this past offseason. The junior edge rusher was a five-star prospect from the class of 2024.
At Auburn , Williams showed bursts of being an elite pass rusher, but didn't put everything together. He had 20 combined tackles, 7. 5 tackles for loss, and 2.
5 sacks through his two seasons at Auburn. He was expected to be the pièce de résistance for a Georgia Bulldogs pass rush that was inconsistent last season. Through the first eight games, the Bulldogs had just eight sacks, but from the Mississippi State matchup onward, they had 12 sacks .
