ATHENS, Ga. – Georgia lost only five starters off last season’s football team, but three of the departures were offensive linemen.
After going through spring practice and preseason camp, Bulldogs senior running back Nick Chubb doesn’t see that as any kind of problem whatsoever entering Saturday night’s opener against Appalachian State inside Sanford Stadium.
“They’re on the same page, and they’re communicating way better,” Chubb said earlier this week in a news conference. “It’s a younger group, but Isaiah gets them in the right direction.”
In other words, “Never fear, Isaiah Wynn is still here.”
At 6-foot-2 and 302 pounds, Wynn is now among the smaller members of Georgia’s offensive line, but to coaches and teammates, what he provides is immeasurable. He has played in 37 games for the Bulldogs since signing in 2014 as a four-star prospect out of Lakewood High School in St. Petersburg, Fla.
