Georgia football’s Trey Hill enters 2021 NFL Draft

Junior Georgia Bulldogs offensive lineman Trey Hill is entering into the 2021 NFL Draft. Hill was a key starter at UGA.

Junior Georgia Bulldogs offensive lineman Trey Hill is entering into the 2021 NFL Draft. Hill began the season as the only returning member of Georgia’s starting offensive line. The Houston County High School product helped Georgia weather the storm and helped the Bulldogs put together some impressive offensive line performances as a unit.

Trey Hill is 6 feet, 4 inches, and is one of the best centers in the 2021 NFL Draft. Impressively, No. 55 has already graduated from the University of Georgia. He is truly a man on a mission.

Hill was named second team All-SEC following his impressive 2019 performance. Unfortunately in 2020 his season was cut short due to injury. Georgia got a preview of how life would be like without Hill in the Peach Bowl. The Bulldogs struggled to consistently run the football against Cincinnati.

Offensive line coach Matt Luke may have his hands full once again in terms of replacing elite talent. Offensive guard Ben Cleveland is also entering into the NFL Draft. Justin Shaffer, a senior, additionally faces an NFL Draft decision.

Trey Hill came to Athens as a four or five star recruit depending on the scouting service and has easily lived up to his touted billing. He announced his decision to declare for the 2021 NFL Draft via his Twitter account:

Congratulations to Trey Hill. He was a rock during his time at Georgia. He has the ability to play right away in the NFL. He’s currently projected as a third round draft selection.

Georgia’s offensive line turned heads in their performance vs. South Carolina on Saturday night.

The Bulldogs rushed for 336 yards and four touchdowns on the way to a 45-16 win in Columbia.

Senior guard Ben Cleveland was named SEC Lineman of the Week while senior center Trey Hill was named the highest-graded interior offensive lineman in college football for week 13 by Pro Football Focus (PFF).

It should be noted that the Gamecocks were down several defensive starters, including Kinsley Enagbare, the SEC’s leader in sacks, but the way Hill played from his center position was awesome to watch and it should boost his NFL Draft stock.

Watch Hill blow a couple of South Carolina defenders off the line to spring running back James Cook for a long run.

It was great to see this Bulldogs offensive line get back on track after just eight yards rushing vs. Mississippi State in week 12.

The No. 9 Bulldogs (6-2) are back in action this Saturday in Athens vs. Vanderbilt (0-8). Kickoff is set for 4 p.m. ET on SEC Network.
