Georgia needed some improvement on its offensive line heading into the 2017 season. Given that five-star offensive tackle Isaiah Wilson was a major part of last year’s recruiting haul, it was expected that the Brooklyn, New York, native would step in and contribute immediately.
That didn’t materialize.
In fact, it was another freshman in Andrew Thomas who ended up starting every game. As it turned out, Wilson needed some time to adjust to the college game. While Wilson rotated with the second and third teams in practice, he redshirted in 2017.
Offensive line coach Sam Pittman said Wilson needed last season to grow accustomed to what Georgia is looking out of him.
