ATHENS — By now, most college football fans should know who Javon Bullard is. Ohio State fans certainly do, given they’ve spent much of the offseason whining about his hit that broke up a key third-quarter pass from CJ Stroud.

Bullard added a sack in the win over Ohio State. Then in the first half of the national championship game, he put on an even more brilliant display. He intercepted Max Duggan twice while recovering a fumble.

The two performances won Bullard defensive MVP honors in both of Georgia’s College Football Playoff wins. His play at the end of the 2022 season allowed him to announce to the college football landscape that he was going to be Georgia’s next star defensive back.

“I have big goals and big plans for myself and for this team. I just want to keep learning and keep growing,” Bullard said. “I feel like this is the best school to learn and grow from the DB perspective. I come in here eager to learn every day. With the coaching staff that we have and the plays that we run, I feel like it’s going to happen. Just keep eating, keep learning, and have a growth mindset every day that you come to work.”
