Broderick Jones, Offensive Line (No. 59):
Class: Freshman
Height: 6-4
Weight: 285 pounds
Hometown: Lithonia, Georgia
High School: Lithonia High School
Georgia Bulldogs offensive lineman Broderick Jones will be a key piece of the offensive front as a freshman. Former Ole Miss head coach Matt Luke will coach up another talented recruit in Jones, who comes to Athens as a five-star recruit.
Jones played in the Under Armour All-American Game in 2020. He played offensive tackle and has the potential to have a similar career to Andrew Thomas. The Lithonia High School product enters his freshman year after being named as the top tackle in the class of 2020 (according to some recruiting services).
Unfortunately, Jones was involved in an accident this offseason. Jones could start as a freshman, although his lack of experience and the lack of traditional preparation for the season could limit the likelihood of him starting.
That being said, Georgia’s offensive line is replacing four starters and Jones will have ample opportunity for playing time. He’ll have to beat out players like Xavier Truss, Jamaree Salyer, Warren McClendon, and Warren Ericson to start.
