Georgia continued to stockpile offensive linemen for its 2020 signing class this weekend, receiving a nonbinding pledge from Sedrick Van Pran.

Van Pran is a 6-foot-4, 305-pound center from Warren Easton High School in New Orleans, and he took official visits earlier this year to Oklahoma and Texas A&M before deciding on the Bulldogs. He is the nation's No. 3 center and No. 101 prospect overall in the 247Sports.com composite rankings.

The Bulldogs now have five offensive linemen among their 17 commitments. Georgia is having to assemble an abundance of linemen in case multiple projected starters for this season decide in January to bypass their remaining eligibility.

Tackles Andrew Thomas and Isaiah Wilson and guards Ben Cleveland and Solomon Kindley each fit into that category, with Thomas widely expected to be a first-round selection in the 2020 NFL draft.

"Dawg Nation, let the good times roll," Georgia offensive line coach Sam Pittman exclaimed on social media after Van Pran's commitment. "Go Dawgs. Yessirr!"

Georgia's crop of commitments is ranked fifth by 247Sports behind Clemson, Alabama, LSU and Ohio State. The Bulldogs have 10 commitments ranked among the nation's top 150 players.
