ATHENS, Ga. — A pair of Georgia offensive linemen are officially available as the Bulldogs take on No. 5 Ole Miss. The SEC’s final student-athlete availability report was listed 90 minutes before kickoff. Neither Earnest Greene (back) nor Juan Gaston (ankle) were listed.

True freshmen wideouts Talyn Taylor (collarbone) and Thomas Blackshear (undisclosed), true freshman tight end Ethan Barbour (ankle), redshirt freshman center Malachi Toliver (undisclosed), and redshirt sophomore safety Kyron Jones (foot) are all out for the contest. Jones was ruled out in Wednesday’s report, and Georgia released a statement that he would miss an indefinite amount of time.

Greene hasn’t played since week three of the 2025 season when he got the start against Tennessee. He was unable to finish that game. He also started the season opener against Marshall and played 19 plays (two offensive series) before exiting.

The California native has made 25 starts in his Georgia career, 23 of which have been at left tackle. He suffered a shoulder injury last season that caused him to miss three regular-season games. He returned for the post-season, playing in both the SEC Championship game and the Bulldogs’ Sugar Bowl loss to Notre Dame.

Gaston, who started but failed to finish the Auburn game due to an ankle injury, started Georgia’s season opener against Marshall but only played 19 snaps after suffering an ankle sprain and a knee sprain on the same leg. He missed week two and returned in week three against Tennessee but did not finish the game. Since the bye week, Gaston has played at least 29 snaps in each of the past three games. He saw 52 snaps against Auburn.

As was the case for the first three reports of the week, junior left tackle Monroe Freeling (ankle) and redshirt freshman running back Chauncey Bowens (calf) are also absent from the report. Freeling was questionable for the entire week leading up to the Auburn game. Bowens only played 11 snaps against the Tigers.
