Watch: Georgia OL Jamaree Salyer puts in offseason work, Kirby Smart reacts

UGA football OL Jamaree Salyer has slimmed down and is putting in offseason work. Georgia Bulldogs head coach Kirby Smart reacted on Twitter

Jamaree Salyer, Georgia’s projected starter at right tackle in 2020, has been busy putting in offseason work.

Salyer committed to Georgia as a five-star prospect in the class of 2018 out of Pace Academy in Atlanta, Georgia. In two seasons, he’s seen action in 26 games. With the departure of four starters off of last season’s offensive line, Salyer will be expected to be a leader on the line next season.

When he signed with Georgia, he checked in at 342 pounds. According to this tweet he is now down to 315.

The tweet was posted by Big Dawgs Club, an offensive lineman training program.

Salyer’s new look caught the eye of Kirby Smart, who responded to the tweet. Big Dawgs Club responded to Kirby’s tweet and said that Salyer will report back to UGA at 308 pounds.

Georgia football: Projected offensive 2020 depth chart

The Georgia Bulldogs’ offense will miss multiple familiar faces in 2020.

The Georgia Bulldogs’ offense will miss multiple familiar faces in 2020.

Offensive line guru Sam Pittman accepted the head coaching role at the University of Arkansas prior to Georgia’s Sugar Bowl victory over Baylor. With Pittman left starting offensive linemen Isaiah Wilson, Solomon Kindley, Andrew Thomas, and Cade Mays.

The first three declared early for the NFL Draft while Mays, the son of Tennessee Volunteer legend Kevin and brother of Vol freshman Cooper decided to return home to Knoxville.

In the backfield, D’andre Swift declared early. Jake Fromm declared early. Brian Herrien exhausted his eligibility.

On the outside, receivers Lawrence Cager and Tyler Simmons have also exhausted eligibility. Tight end Charlie Woerner, known more for blocking than catching, has also graduated. Transfer TE Eli Wolf’s one year of eligibility in Athens came and went.

This leaves the Dawgs with starters Dominick Blaylock, Trey Hill, and George Pickens.

Missing a myriad of starters, what will the Dawgs’ offense look like in 2020?

Following the departure of Swift and Herrien, the Silver Britches’ ground game will be left unto Zamir White, James Cook, and Kenny McIntosh. The two underclassmen played behind Swift and Herrien while combining for an average of 8.5 yards per carry in 2019.

For a team rebounding from an off-season ripe with attrition, White and McIntosh need major help from an unproven group of offensive lineman.

In the offensive trenches, center Trey Hill will be the only constant in between seasons.

Matt Landers, Kearis Jackson, and George Pickens all return in at receiver.

Without a proven threat at tight end, Florida State transfer Tre McKitty arrives in Athens predicted to be the Silver Britches best option at the position.

In the absence of Fromm, Wake Forest graduate transfer Jamie Newman enrolled at Georgia last month.
