Georgia’s 2025 Offensive Line Outlook: Reloaded and Ready

Earnest Greene gives Daijun Edwards a push – Georgia vs. Florida 2023 – October 29, 2023 – Georgia 43, Florida 20

Despite heavy losses to the NFL and the transfer portal following the 2024 season, Georgia’s 2025 offensive line remains deep, massive, and rich with upside. While the Bulldogs must replace seasoned veterans, they benefit from a wave of redshirt talent and a physically imposing group of true freshmen ready to compete. Here’s a look at how the offensive line shapes up this season using only the players listed in the current roster.

 

 

 

 

Starters and Contributors

Earnest Greene III (RJr., 6-4, 320)

Greene is the centerpiece of this offensive line and the most proven returning starter. A natural at left tackle with experience in Georgia’s high-stakes games, he anchors the front and brings leadership to a young group.

Micah Morris (RSr., 6-4, 330)

 

 

 

 

With his size and veteran status, Morris is another likely starter, possibly at guard. He provides physicality and maturity and is expected to help stabilize the interior line.

Monroe Freeling (Jr., 6-7, 315)

Freeling saw meaningful snaps in 2024 and is expected to step into a full-time role at tackle. His length and agility make him a strong pass protector on the right side.

Bo Hughley (RSo., 6-7, 295)

With a towering presence and elite athletic potential, Hughley is in line for a breakout season. After redshirting in 2023 and rotating in 2024, he’s ready for a bigger stage.

Jamal Meriweather (RSo., 6-7, 305)

Meriweather offers another massive frame and will likely be part of the core rotation. Expect him to push for time at guard or even right tackle, depending on alignment.

Drew Bobo (RJr., 6-5, 305)

Bobo provides flexibility and intelligence on the interior line and can plug in at guard or center. His veteran status makes him valuable for in-game adjustments.

Henry Peagler (RSo., 6-3, 290)

Peagler could earn rotational work, especially early in the season, as the Bulldogs sort through their best combinations up front.

Daniel Calhoun (RFr., 6-6, 325)

Calhoun was one of the most heralded linemen in the 2023 recruiting class. After a redshirt year, he’s poised to contribute this fall, likely as the primary backup at tackle with starter potential.

Marcus Harrison (RFr., 6-8, 330)

Harrison’s combination of size and athleticism makes him a tantalizing option. He may be one more year away from a starting job, but could earn reps in mop-up duty or goal-line packages.

Malachi Toliver (RFr., 6-5, 320) and Michael Uini (RFr., 6-7, 325)

Both players offer rare size and pedigree, and either could crack the rotation by midseason. Uini especially looks the part of a future SEC starter.

True Freshmen to Watch

Cortez Smith (Fr., 6-3, 320)

A powerful run blocker from Parkview, Smith may be the most physically ready freshman guard. He’s unlikely to start but could see fourth-quarter reps and contribute on special teams.

Dennis Uzochukwu (Fr., 6-5, 300)

Another long, athletic prospect who may develop into a future starter. His 2025 snaps will likely come late in blowouts or due to injury, but he’s firmly in the long-term plan.

Juan Gaston (Fr., 6-7, 360)

Gaston is a mountain of a man and might be the heaviest player on the roster. His size alone will earn him attention, though he may need a year to adjust to SEC speed.

Mason Short (Fr., 6-6, 310)

Short has the frame and movement skills to be a future left tackle. Like others in the freshman group, he’s expected to redshirt unless injuries force his hand.

Conclusion

Georgia’s 2025 offensive line is a mix of veteran experience, redshirt development, and elite freshman size. While the losses from 2024 leave some questions about leadership and cohesion, the depth and raw physical tools on the roster are among the best in the SEC.

Look for at least one redshirt freshman—likely Calhoun or Uini—to break into the regular rotation by October, with two or three freshmen logging live reps by year’s end. Georgia may not start the season with a polished wall up front, but by November, this unit has the potential to be elite.
