” We have a little bit of musical chairs going on at this moment. Matt [Luke] is managing it well … those people are completing.”
Smart said redshirt freshman Warren McClendon (6-4, 320) and Condon “are probably getting the most representatives there” at best tackle.

ATHENS– The development being made by the Georgia offensive line might have been the most surprising element of Skirmish One on Saturday at Sanford Stadium.
” Shaffer has done a great deal of work with the ones at left guard, Ben at ideal guard, however I wouldnt say thats a done deal because weve got Warren Ericson (and) Clay Webb,” Smart said.
” We have an excellent quality depth there, (however) we do not have the elite gamers we had in 2015,” stated Smart, whos replacing four starters consisting of first-round offensive tackles Andrew Thomas and Isaiah Wilson.
Condon, a 6-foot-7, 310-pound redshirt sophomore from Oklahoma City, played in games in 2018 and appeared in just one game last season on account of what was referred to as a lower-body injury.
Smart stated junior Jamaree Salyer is playing left deal with, and preseason All-SEC junior Trey Hill is at center.
” We d like for him to have fun with a bit more power and have the ability to move individuals.”
After that, the guard positions and right deal with area are being hotly contested.
” Netori [Johnson] has shown some assure there working. Those people are actually competing at the guard spot.”
The guard positions are likewise up for grabs, though it sounds like seniors Justin Shaffer and Ben Cleveland have the within track at left and best guard.
Kirby Smart made it clear he likes what UGA has to work with, and hes confident offending line coach Matt Luke can get it called in by the Sept. 26 opening video game at Arkansas.
” The right tackle area has actually been the one that is probably the most competitive offer,” Smart said. “Owen Condon has actually truly stepped up and done some great things. Owen hasnt been healthy because hes been here. Hes been a pleasant surprise in regards to competitiveness, intelligence, strength.
