5-star class of 2020 offensive lineman Broderick Jones, who committed to Georgia this past winter, has recently suffered a lower leg injury in a motor biking accident, per Dawgs247.
The injury comes less than two months prior to the Bulldogs’ season opener against Virginia, scheduled for September 7th.
This is not the news Dawg fans needed right now, following the departure of some key offensive linemen this offseason. The 6-foot-5, 300 pounder out of Lithonia, GA was expected to seriously compete for a starting position this fall, but that could now be delayed.
The severity surrounding this injury is not yet clear, but according to Dawgs247’s Jake Rowe, it could be a 1-2 month recovery, putting week one up in the air for Jones.
