Just curious — Trey Hill, warts and all, is this year’s center, but, assuming this is his last season in Athens, whom do you think will succeed him for 2021?
I thought Webb was the heir apparent, but it sounds like the coaches like Van Pran there, too.
Doesn’t Webb want to play guard anyway?

I would think Hill would be a stronger candidate to get bumped over to guard given his snap issues, and the fact that he graded out well as a guard his freshman year. As I recall he played tackle in high school anyway. Meanwhile Kirby has brought in a top 300 center in three straight classes.

^This. I really hope someone can beat out Hill at Center so we can move him to LG. I don’t think his snapping is bad; I don’t like his footwork and how it affects his angles on blocks when the DL stunts or shifts. I think not having to make the line calls or handle the snap will he mitigate some of that. I see too many plays that get stuffed at the line that would have been 6 yard gains with Galliard at Center.

Plus a young center sandwiched between two veteran guards like Cleveland and Hill is a best case scenario if you end up going that route.

Hill, Webb, Ericson, Van Pran, Kinnie. We’ve got problems, but the Center position ain’t one of ’em.

Interesting the difference between our fans assessment of Hill and Cole Cubulic’s (named him the #2 OL in the SEC)
I’m just not worried about our offensive line. We are as talented as anyone and surprisingly continuity isn’t as big of a deal as you would expect based on Bill Connely’s analysis.
Hopefully Broderick Jones is healthy, but even without him I think we are a top 3 SEC OL

He’s not a center. Move to him to Guard already.
He’s not even the #2 OL on Georgia, let alone the SEC.
