Athens, Georgia - Will these hidden gems of Georgia and Alabama college football soar to the spotlight in the 2023-24 season?

On a top-ranked team full of showstoppers and playmakers, it's not so easy to stand out from the rest!

When you're a member of Georgia and Alabama football, it can be even harder to be noticed on the field as compared to other teams.

Nevertheless, each season's graduated players leave some room for hidden gems to rise to the spotlight.

Enter David Daniel-Sisavanh of Georgia and Darrian Dalcourt of Alabama.

Last season, Daniel-Sisavanh played under the shadow of his star teammates, including Christopher Smith, Kelee Ringo, and Javon Bullard, just to name a few.

Still, the defensive player made 14 tackles and a stop for loss against Oregon and South Carolina in his steady role as a backup safety.

With first-team All-SEC Smith's departure, Daniel-Sisavanh is a key contender for a starting Safety position.

In Tuscaloosa, Dalcourt missed eight games last season in addition to the 2021 SEC championships and College Football Playoffs as a center starter.

This spring, however, Dalcourt began work as a guard for the Crimson Tide, who have some major missing and much-needed spots to fill after losing two guards during the offseason.

Georgia and Alabama will open the 2023-24 season on September 2 against Tennessee-Martin and Middle Tennessee, respectively.
