Georgia’s Cordy Glenn (71) will protect quarterback Aaron Murray as a right tackle this year after starting all 13 games last season at left guard.The position coach isn’t as big of an adjustment as the position for Georgia senior offensive lineman Cordy Glenn.
After starting all 13 games last season at left guard, the 6-foot-5, 320-pounder from Riverdale, Ga., is now the right tackle. Glenn started at left tackle four times during the 2009 season, so he has some experience with the challenge that lies ahead.
“I’m just getting used to working a different way on a different side of the line,” Glenn said Tuesday night after the Bulldogs resumed practices following spring break. “You can get help at guard when you’re going against a pass rush, but at tackle you’re on an island by yourself.”
Glenn is working at a new spot with a new coach, as Will Friend now heads up the offensive front after the departure of Stacy Searels to Texas.
“There is not much difference in O-line coaches,” Glenn said. “Everyone knows what O-line coaches are like. Coach Friend is a good coach, and I’m looking forward to playing for him.”
