Hill will likely be the centerpiece of the Georgia offensive line in 2020.  The Dawgs lost key pieces in the trenches this offseason with the departure of Andrew Thomas, Isaiah Wilson and Solomon Kindley (all NFL draft selections).  On top of that, junior tackle Cade Mays transferred to Tennessee after an unusual fallout.

Hill saw time in all 14 games in 2018, starting the final four games at right guard.  In 2019 he started at center all 14 games, was named to the AP All-SEC 2nd Team and was the co-winner of the Offensive Most Improved Player award at Georgia’s post-season awards gala.

The 6-foot-4, 330-pound Warner Robbins, GA native allowed only two quarterback pressures last season on 433 pass block snaps.

Hill is projected to be taken in the second round of the 2021 NFL Draft following his junior year at UGA.

Georgia football HC Kirby Smart updates Lawrence Cager and Trey Hill injuries

Kirby Smart briefed the press in regards to WR Lawrence Cager and C Trey Hill’s injury status, following Saturdays 27-0 win over Missouri.

With the departure of former Bulldogs receiver JJ Holloman prior to the 2019 season, there were some question marks surrounding the team on who would be Fromm’s new favorite receiver.  Enter Lawrence Cager, the senior wide receiver out of Baltimore, Maryland who has fit in just perfectly to that roll.

Cager, who has established himself as the Dawgs #1 wide receiver option this season, aggravated his shoulder in the second quarter of last weeks game against Missouri, and would not return.

Along with the Cager injury came an injury to center Trey Hill, who suffered a ankle sprain in the first quarter of the game.  Hill would also not return to the game.

In Kirby Smart’s Monday press conference he was asked about the health of both Cager and Hill.

“We’re expecting Lawrence to practice today,” said Smart. “And Trey has an ankle (sprain), but he’s going to be able to practice today, as far as we know.”

“They are both cleared to practice.”

Exciting news from Coach Smart.

#5 Georgia comes into the matchup with a record of 8-1, and 5-1 in the SEC.  The Dawgs will secure a spot to their 3rd straight SEC Championship with a win this week over Auburn.

Cager has averaged 14.7 yards per catch and has 4 touchdowns on the year, even with missing some time.  Kirby Smart will need to manage these injuries very closely if he wants Cager and Hill to help him beat the #13 Auburn Tigers this Saturday.

A full injury update will come later in the week, including updates on the status of both Cager and Hill.
