Five-star Georgia Bulldogs football commit Broderick Jones has re-confirmed his commitment to UGA. Jones has visited the Auburn Tigers, Illinois, and Arkansas in recent weeks.
This past weekend Jones visited Athens. The trip prompted him to re-confirm his commitment to Georgia via Twitter:
Jones is Georgia’s most important remaining target in the class of 2020. Jones played high school football in Lithonia, Georgia and is 6-5. He is rated as a top five offensive tackle in his class according to nearly every recruiting website.
Jones would be an important addition for Kirby Smart and his staff, who lost a boatload of offensive line talent to the NFL and to a transfer. UGA’s offensive line has gotten some more good injury news in recent weeks as well. Jones has the potential to start as a freshman.
The Dawgs have lost four of their previous five starting offensive lineman from the 2019 season: LT Andrew Thomas (NFL), LG Solomon Kindley, RG Cade Mays (transfer to Tennessee), and RT Isaiah Wilson (NFL). UGA need all the help they can get at offensive line with the line only returning starting center Trey Hill.
Ben Cleveland, Justin Shaffer, Trey Hill, and Jamaree Salyer are expected to start next season, but would will hold down the fifth spot? Jones will make a run at the left tackle job if he ends up in Athens.
