UGA’s Offensive Line in 2025: Built to Dominate?

As Georgia reloads for another run at the SEC crown in 2025, much of the spotlight turns to the offensive line. The Bulldogs lost several starters to the NFL, but the depth, returning experience, and system continuity suggest a high probability that UGA will maintain — and possibly improve — its trench dominance.

Core Returners: Proven, Battle-Tested

The biggest anchor returning is left tackle Earnest Greene III, a multi-year starter with elite footwork and frame. Greene started every game in 2023 and played a significant role in 2024, cementing himself as one of the SEC’s most dependable blindside protectors. His experience and leadership alone elevate the floor of this unit.

Joining him are Micah Morris and Monroe Freeling, both of whom saw extended playing time last year. Morris projects as a mauling guard with quick hands and strong drive-blocking ability. Freeling, a former five-star recruit, showed flashes of elite potential, bringing agility and flexibility to either tackle spot.

Center Stability: Bobo Back in Command

Drew Bobo, son of offensive coordinator Mike Bobo, returns at center after a strong 2024 campaign. While not the most heralded name on the roster, Bobo is the cerebral anchor. His communication, awareness, and pre-snap reads are vital to keeping the offense humming. His presence gives Georgia a steadying force in the middle of a reshuffled line.

Reloaded Depth with Starter-Caliber Talent

What separates Georgia from most programs isn’t just star power — it’s the quality of the second and third options. Former top recruits like Bo Hughley, Kelton Smith Jr., and Chad Lindberg are pushing for starting time. These aren’t developmental bodies — they’re high-ceiling linemen who would start at most Power 5 programs.

New faces like freshman Daniel Calhoun, one of the nation’s highest-rated offensive tackle recruits, add even more muscle to the pipeline. Whether he cracks the rotation or redshirts, his presence proves the line room is as stacked as ever.

Coaching Consistency + Scheme Fit = Success

Offensive line coach Stacy Searels continues to build units that excel in power-run and play-action schemes. Georgia doesn’t ask linemen to do too much, just to win their matchups and control the point of attack. That simplicity, combined with talent and development, has made UGA’s line a national standard.

Conclusion: High Probability of Elite Line Play

Even after losing multiple NFL-caliber linemen, Georgia is in position to keep the offensive line elite in 2025. The combination of returning starters, plug-and-play depth, and system continuity gives UGA one of the highest probabilities in the SEC — and the country — for superior offensive line performance this fall.
