Offensive Line

Starting left tackle: Xavier Truss
Backup: Broderick Jones

Starting left guard: Jamaree Salyer
Backup: Clay Webb

Starting center: Sedrick Van Pran-Grainger
Backup: Austin Blaske

Starting right guard: Warren Ericson
Backup: Tate Ratledge

Starting right tackle: Warren McClendon
Backup: Amarius Mims

This is the unit that has the least amount of experience heading into the 2021 season. That does not mean that I expect the unit to be bad, however.

Georgia has recruited and developed well at the position ever since Kirby Smart arrived and Matt Luke is one of the best offensive line coaches in the country. Jamaree Slayer returning for another season in Athens was a huge win for the team and he should be the undisputed leader of the offensive line next season.

Xavier Truss got the start in the bowl game against Cincinnati at left tackle and held up pretty well. He should be the favorite to be the full time starter next season. Sedrick Van Pran-Grainger should be the next big time player on the offensive line for Georgia and I expect him earn the starting spot at center.

Warren Ericson should be a starter at one of the three interior positions and that kind of versatility will be great for the Bulldogs. Warren McClendon has a ton of talent and played well at right tackle last season.
