Dawgs247 has learned that Georgia offensive lineman Jake Edwards will be transferring from the team. While his transfer destination is unclear at this time, the redshirt sophomore made the decision to seek more playing time according to persons with knowledge of the situation.

At 6-foot-4, 284-pound Franklin native’s career got off to an unfortunate start in Athens with a torn ACL during conditioning workouts soon after he arrived to campus. That forced him to miss all of the 2014 season where he took a redshirt.

A year removed from the injury, Edwards served on the scout team during the 2015 season, as The Bulldogs returned a veteran group up front. During spring drills Edwards spent some time with The Bulldogs’ third offensive line during media viewing periods.

The former three-star prospect earned an offer from UGA during a standout performance at a summer camp in June of 2013. He committed to The Bulldogs shortly after receiving that offer.

Despite the loss of Edwards, Georgia returns strong numbers on the interior of the offensive line with Dyshon Sims, Lamont Gaillard, Ben Cleveland, and Sam Madden ticketed for guard. Solomon Kindley will enter the mix in June. Either Isaiah Wynn or Greg Pyke could also move back inside if Rhode Island transfer offensive lineman Tyler Catalina earns the starting nod at either tackle position.
