Bulldog offensive linemen Broderick Jones, Warren McClendon, and Warren Ericson all declared early for the NFL Draft. Together, they represent 72 starts across the line for Georgia. Getting Van Pran back is big.

Georgia Football and their fans are still grieving the deaths of lineman Devin Willock and staffer Chandler LeCroy.

The No. 1 center in the class of 2020, Sedrick Van Pran chose Georgia over Alabama, Florida and Oklahoma, among others. The New Orleans native was the No. 3 prospect out of the state of Louisiana in 2020, behind just Kayshon Boutte and Jaquelin Roy. He was the only player out of the state's top-4 recruits that year to not commit to LSU.

ESPN's Todd McShay and Mel Kiper Jr. both have Sedrick Van Pran ranked as their third-best center in the Draft class. He was projected to go in the 2nd or 3rd rounds.
