Three offensive linemen -- John Theus, Chester Brown and Greg Pyke -- have made commitments to Georgia so far, but the Bulldogs will need more help than that if they want to replace senior starters Ben Jones, Cordy Glenn and Justin Anderson. With no returning seniors on the roster, as many as three junior college offensive linemen could be targeted for 2012.

Sequoias (Calif.) offensive tackle Claudyson Calixte, 6-6, 320 pounds, has the ideal size most schools are looking for at tackle. Only two programs, Western Michigan and Marshall, have offered so far, but several major conference schools have been inquiring about his services including Georgia, Arizona State and Ole Miss.
