Two years ago, in the final season of Mark Richt’s tenure as Georgia’s head coach, Georgia played with one of the lightest teams in the SEC. That year, Georgia had 10 players on its roster listed over 300 pounds.
The Bulldogs just signed seven players who weigh over 300 pounds in its top-ranked recruiting class of 2018.
One, defensive lineman Jordan Davis, signed on Wednesday. The rest put pen to paper during December’s early signing period.
“We were able to get some guys we think are really big, and in our league, the best teams you play are the teams that got size and stature and (are) able to win the line of scrimmage,” Georgia head coach Kirby Smart said.
