Georgia has had plenty of talented defensive linemen cycle through Athens in recent seasons, including first-round picks such as Jordan Davis and Jalen Carter. Brinson played alongside all of them.
“One thing I always say is I’m a diverse player. I can play across the whole board,” Brinson said on what he brings to the next level. “Coach (Tray) Scott really got me ready for that at Georgia’s position versatility. And I was just telling the scouts, if you need somebody to play from a zero to five, you can use me and they’ll have to go. I’m free, just come and grab somebody. That’s my biggest thing is diversity, being able to switch on and off.”
Brinson had his best season as a Bulldog in 2024, despite missing time due to an ankle injury. He notched 26 tackles, 2.0 sacks and 6 tackles for loss in 12 games for Georgia.
