Georgia Bulldogs offensive lineman Broderick Jones will be a key piece of the offensive front as a freshman

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.

Georgia football OL signee Broderick Jones injures leg in motor bike accident

The No. 2 OL in the 2020 class, and Georgia football signee Broderick Jones has suffered a lower leg injury due to a motor bike accident.

5-star class of 2020 offensive lineman Broderick Jones, who committed to Georgia this past winter, has recently suffered a lower leg injury in a motor biking accident, per Dawgs247.

The injury comes less than two months prior to the Bulldogs’ season opener against Virginia, scheduled for September 7th.

This is not the news Dawg fans needed right now, following the departure of some key offensive linemen this offseason. The 6-foot-5, 300 pounder out of Lithonia, GA was expected to seriously compete for a starting position this fall, but that could now be delayed.

The severity surrounding this injury is not yet clear, but according to Dawgs247’s Jake Rowe, it could be a 1-2 month recovery, putting week one up in the air for Jones.

Jones was an instrumental piece to Georgia’s No. 1 overall 2020 recruiting class. He is rated as the No. 2 offensive tackle in the country as well as the No. 11 overall player.

This is yet another curveball of 2020 delivered to Kirby Smart and the Georgia coaching staff that they will need to deal with. We will provide more updates on Jones’ injury as they become available.
