ATHENS, Ga. — Before each of the last two seasons, at least a few Georgia players opted to return for their senior seasons to make another run at glory. If the Bulldogs find themselves back in the championship hunt, most think the return of Sedrick Van Pran will be a big reason.
Barring injury, the center from New Orleans is poised to resume a streak of 30 consecutive starts for the Bulldogs this fall. Van Pran’s presence on Woodruff Practice Fields this spring is crucial as the Bulldogs seek to replace both starting tackles on offense.
“The players view ‘Sed’ as that guy,” said senior defensive tackle Zion Logue, a key piece on Georgia’s defense. “Sed’s been driven to be that guy ever since he stepped on campus. … He’s that voice that you want at the center position of your offense. He’s the second quarterback.”
