Georgia has lost another offensive lineman to the 2020 NFL Draft.
Via his Instagram account, redshirt junior guard Solomon Kindley said he will forego his senior season and pursue an NFL career.
“To start, thank you God for everything, Coming to UGA from Raines High School has been far more than I could ever imagine. Over the past four years I’ve created bonds that will last a lifetime. Bulldog nation thank you for accepting me and always being there when I needed you. I’m forever grateful for all your support. Thank you to my athletic trainers that have taken care of my body and the equipment staff that made sure I always had everything I needed to compete and look good doing it. Coach Pittman thank you for recruiting me and changing my life. Thank you for always being there for me on and off the field. All my coaches thank you for making me a better man and getting me to where I am today. The state of Georgia and Athens will always have a special place in my heart. With that being said and after discussing it over with my family, I’ll be foregoing my senior season and will enter the 2020 NFL Draft.”
