Second-year coach Kirby Smart wanted to -- and had to -- bolster his offensive line with his 2017 recruiting class. And man, did he.
Smart not only signed six offensive linemen but he signed five linemen who weigh at least 330 pounds. All of this was needed in Athens, and Smart delivered an Alabama-like offensive line to the Bulldogs earlier this month.
And while all of these guy are important pieces to the Bulldogs' present and future, keep a particular eye on three-star guard Justin Shaffer. One of Smart's bigger signees (6-foot-4, 350 pounds), Shaffer was overlooked by just about all the recruiting services.
