Top Returning Georgia Safeties

Overall, this list of top returning Georgia safeties is headed by sophomore Caleb Downs, who has proven to be a key cog in the Hawks’ defense since snagging five interceptions as a freshman.

Jake Pope is a close second, and his clutch strip in the 2020 6A state championship sealed another title for the Wolves.

And what’s better than having one top-10 safety? Having two! The defending 7A and 6A state champions, Grayson and Buford, both have two 3-star or better safeties to lock down opposing offenses.
