A pair of Georgia Bulldogs will miss the Reese’s Senior Bowl after pulling out of the event on Monday.
The NFL draft showcase, made up of some of the top prospects in the class, takes place annually in Mobile, Alabama. Players participate in interviews and on-field practices before a game between the National Team and American Team takes place at the end of the week.
According to Senior Bowl executive director and former NFL scout Jim Nagy, Georgia offensive linemen Tate Ratledge and Jared Wilson have pulled out of the event. Additional details were not shared by Nagy, but both players were missing from the official rosters on Monday.
Ratledge served as an anchor on the Bulldogs’ offensive line for the last three seasons, including the national championship season in 2022. The 6-foot-6, 320-pound guard earned AFCA First-Team All-America honors as a senior in 2024.
Ratledge suffered an ankle injury in September that caused him to miss four games while recovering from surgery. He returned, albeit limited, for the Bulldogs’ SEC championship run and College Football Playoff appearance.
Wilson started at center for Georgia for one season after waiting behind future draft pick Sedrick Van Pran-Granger (Buffalo Bills). The 6-foot-3, 310-pound bruiser missed two regular season games due to a foot injury.
According to ESPN draft analyst Matt Miller, the Coaches Second-Team All-SEC selection is “dealing with the effects of a long season and will prep for the combine.”
Both Bulldogs are among the highest-rated players at their positions, with Ratledge coming in as ESPN’s No. 4 ranked guard and Wilson ranked as the No. 2 center.
