Georgia football fans have reason to celebrate as one of their top defensive players, Daylen Everette, announced he will return for the 2025 season. This news is a huge win for the Bulldogs as Everette has been a cornerstone of Georgia’s defense, earning a reputation as one of the best cornerbacks in college football.
Everette, who has started 28 consecutive games at cornerback, had a career-best season in 2024. The defensive back finished the year with 58 tackles, three interceptions, three passes defended, two forced fumbles, and even a sack. His standout performance came during Georgia’s SEC Championship victory over Texas, where he earned MVP honors after intercepting the Longhorns twice. That performance, in particular, showcased Everette’s ability to change the game and highlight his critical role in Georgia’s defense.
With Everette returning, Georgia solidifies one of the best secondaries in the country, and his leadership will be invaluable next season. As a consistent starter, Everette has proven his ability to handle top-tier competition, and his return gives the Bulldogs a major advantage as they look to defend their reputation as one of the nation’s most formidable defenses.
Alongside the return of key players like running back Trevor Etienne, who recently announced his decision to come back for another season, Georgia’s roster is shaping up to be a powerhouse for 2025. Everette’s leadership, combined with his proven skills, ensures that Georgia’s defense will remain one of the toughest units in college football.
While there are still questions surrounding the team heading into next season, the return of Daylen Everette answers one of the most pressing concerns for the Bulldogs. With his expertise in the secondary and his ability to shut down opposing receivers, Everette will be a critical asset as Georgia looks to maintain its dominance on the national stage.
