Georgia’s offensive lineman, Jamaree Salyer, officially announced that he will enter the 2022 NFL Draft, he announced on his Twitter page on Friday evening.

He wrote: “Looking back on my time here at the University of Georgia, there was no way that I could’ve accounted for the incredible number of friends, memories, and life lessons that are now a part of my life journey. These four years have indeed been a fantastic ride with my teammates, coaches, and the incredible fans that make up DawgNation. There will never be a feeling as electric as running out of the smoke at Sanford Stadium or standing one the podium celebrating a National Championship in Indianapolis.

“Nothing gives me greater pride than to help deliver a National Championship to the great state of Georgia. Growing up a Georgia boy, I know how much it means to cross that bridge. I want to thank Coach Smart and Coach Pittman for the opportunity to come to UGA, and I would also like to thank Coach Luke for being a fantastic coach and mentor. With that being said I’m ready to start preparing for the 2022 NFL Draft. It’s time to get my momma a house.”

The loss of Salyer is a massive one for Georgia’s offensive line heading into the 2022 season, but it was expected coming off one of the most successful seasons in Bulldogs football history.

He’ll be one of the top offensive tackle prospects selected in the 2022 NFL Draft. Salyer was a dominant force along the Bulldog offensive line that manhandled Alabama late in the fourth quarter of their 33-18 national championship victory.

Salyer was named a second team All-American by Walter Camp and the AP for the 2021-2022 season. According to PFF, he allowed the lowest pressure percentage by any tackle in the SEC.

Tipping the scales at 6-foot-4, 325-pounds, Salyer will be a mammoth addition to an NFL offensive line in just a few short months. The 2022 NFL Draft will take place on April 28 to 30th in Las Vegas.
