Georgia football star ranked among top returning defensive linemen in CFB
Miller was used sparingly in his freshman season with the Bulldogs in 2023. However, in 2024, he really took off. He nearly doubled his tackle numbers, but those stats don't show how good he was for the Bulldogs last year. Miller earned an 82.3 PFF grade, one of the best grades of all Power Four defensive linemen and one of the best defensive grades for Georgia.

Unfortunately, Miller is still currently recovering from a labrum injury he suffered against UMass in Week 11 of the 2024 regular season. He'll miss spring because of the rehab process, but he should be good to go for the start of 2025. He will be the leader of a defensive line group that is full of young recruits from 2024 and 2025.
PFF ranks Miller behind Alabama's Tim Keenan (No. 3), Penn State's Zane Durant (No. 2) and Clemson's Peter Woods (No. 1).

He recently developed into a coveted recruit that defensive line coach Tray Scott and outside linebackers coach Chidera Uzo-Diribe prioritized. Lonon was an unranked recruit back in June, but that changed after Georgia offered the elite defensive lineman back on June 3. "It always been trust the process for me. I didn't have any stars until the middle of June now I'm a four-star," Lonon said about his rise to being a heavily-recruited player. Lonon can play anything from a nine-tech to a three-tech because of his size and speed along the defensive line. He is the latest addition to Georgia's class of 2026, but arguably the most versatile amongthe defensive linemen. His quick twitch ability to get in the backfield is his top skill. Right now, Lonon is another piece to the puzzle for Georgia's 2026 defensive line group, which already features commitments from Valdin Sone, Pierre Dean, Preston Carey, Corey Howard, Carter Luckie and Seven Cloud. Lonon plays high school football for Clarke Central High School in Athens, Georgia. In 2024 as a junior, he totaled 51 tackles, eight sacks and 15 tackles for a loss. He helped lead Clarke Central to a 8-2 record. The 6-foot-2, 260-pound defender is ranked as the No. 293 recruit in the 2026 recruiting cycle. Lonon is the No. 38 defensive line recruit in the country and the No. 35 prospect in Georgia. Georgia holds on to their No. 1 recruiting ranking and Lonon makes him the 31st recruit to commit to play in between the hedges.
