Offensive Line

Today I start my look at the Georgia team prior to September 1st. I'll start with one of the biggest question marks for the team, The Offensive Line.

LT - Trinton Sturdivant 6'5" 294 lbs. Freshman
Entered Georgia in January; named Biggest Offensive Surprise of the Spring.

LG - Chris Davis 6'4" 292 lbs. Redshirt Freshman
Listed as number one LG at conclusion of spring drills in 2007.

C - Fernando Velasco 6'4" 328 lbs. Senior
Started every game in 2006 and named the team's most improved offensive player. Also received significant playing time in 2003 and 2004. Redshirted in 2005.

RG - Scott Haverkamp 6'4" 310 lbs JuCo Junior
Butler Community College...rated as the 58th best junior college player (all positions) and 7th best offensive lineman by Rivals.Com.

RT - Chester Adams 6'4" 330 lbs Senior
Started 11 games in 2006 at tight guard, missed two contests due to ankle injury. Played extensively in backup role on the offensive line in 2005 and played in 9 games in 2004 as a freshman.

The Georgia offensive line is definately not lacking in size, the average size of our linemen is 6'4" 310 lbs. This starting group was set by the end of spring practice which despite the recent minor injuries to our linemen (ankle sprains) should provide them plenty of time to gel as a unit. The more I discover about this unit, the more confident I feel going into the season. By the end of the season I really expect this to be one of our strongest groups.

Go Dawgs!!!
