Georgia’s offensive line coach for the last two seasons, Matt Luke, elected to step down shortly after the Bulldogs’ national title citing family reasons.
You might hear Dawg fans who are thankful for Luke’s departure, but the reality is that UGA’s front under the former Ole Miss head coach was one of the best in the SEC.
Luke also helped build a wall of talent. While in Athens, Luke was involved in the recruitment of two five-star and three four-star lineman, including Broderick Jones (5), Amarius Mims (5), Tate Ratledge (4), Aliou Bah (4) and Earnest Greene (4).
While I wouldn’t be worried about coach Kirby Smart finding a quality replacement for Luke, his impact on this Georgia team was undeniable and that UGA front was a big part of the Bulldogs’ national title.
Here are a few names to keep an eye out for as Smart and staff look for a new captain up front.
