Dustin Royston brings proven defensive depth and special-teams value to Georgia’s staff
Royston is a seasoned defensive coach, not a player, and his recent work points to a fit for programs that value discipline, pressure, and hidden-yardage impact. In 2025 at Wofford, his outside linebackers helped a defense that led the Southern Conference in total defense at 350.8 yards allowed per game and ranked nationally in the top 10 in several defensive categories, including interceptions, rushing defense, scoring defense, and tackles for loss. That profile suggests he brings schematic detail, development chops, and special-teams emphasis—useful traits for a staff looking to sharpen front-seven play and overall toughness.[2][3][18]
