Georgia gets creative with how its using Jonathan Ledbetter on defense
Jonathan Ledbetter could see some snaps at another position this season.
With Georgia bringing in graduate transfer Jay Hayes on the defensive line, Ledbetter has been taking reps at outside linebacker. Ledbetter, a starter at defensive end in 2017, mentioned that when Georgia wants to use bigger players in certain packages, Hayes lines up at defensive end and he is an outside linebacker.
This, Ledbetter noted, allows Georgia to line up against running plays with bigger and stronger players who can also move well.
“That’s just good to set edges and play big up front when we need to against those type of teams,” Ledbetter said.
