I think you might be selling him a bit short, from what I see he is still super raw. Does UGA still have Searles coaching the OL? Remember what our OL looked like with him?

Bell is an example of a big guy who was super raw. I was legit concerned for him this year because last year he looked a lot like Merriwether who looked like a JAG, but if they can get him to make a Bell type jump then its all good

Well, Bell didn’t look like a Jag last year. He just wasn’t as good as he was this year and got thrown into the mix too early. This idea that he was a Jag bc he didn’t start at UGA is ridiculous. He played 13 games off the bench, u don’t play 13 games as the 6th OL unless u show something.

its concerning if merriweather who was basically a jag at UGA walks in and takes the starting LT spot from one of our home grown kids
its one thing if seaton walked in and took it but jamil is a jag

Not really fair to call him a JAG. He was behind a projected first round pick in Freeling and a guy who was a 3rd team all SEC tackle in Earnest Green last year. Played in several games this year as a rotational guy and gave up only a single pressure on 50+ pass rush snaps. He's further along than Bell was when we took him in and IMO is a bit more athletic than Bell was. Not saying he's a world beater but to call a guy a JAG when he couldn't get starts over a future first rounder and an All SEC caliber guy is a bit much.
