Very few players have ever made the type of impact in the SEC in their first season that Georgia linebacker Jarvis Jones did in 2011.

Jones made college football's toughest and most talent-stocked league look like his own personal playground last season. The USC transfer proved to be a perfect fit at outside linebacker in Georgia's 3-4 scheme, as he led the SEC with 13.5 sacks and 19.5 tackles for loss.

The 6'3'', 241-pound junior possesses the type of power, explosiveness, instincts and overall recognition skills to develop into an elite edge-rusher.

Georgia's defense should be one of the strongest units in the country in 2012, and there's no doubt that Jones will be the premier Bulldog defender to watch this season.
