They have got somewhat smaller. At that end position they are using guys in the 270-280s. Travon walker played that spot when he was there. They used to just use 3 300+ monsters up front
That’s actually not true; UGA have never just had “3 300+ monsters” on their 3-4 DL. Lol
They run w/ a DE typically between 260-280, a NT typically between 300-350 lbs, & a DT typically between 295-305 lbs. That’s Kirby’s system, & recruits as such. If Edge players can’t get to the 260+ range, they either get weeded out, minimum PT, or more commonly shifted to LB as an Rush End Specialist.
