ATHENS — The 2021 Georgia offensive line got a boost on Friday when veteran offensive guard Justin Shaffer announced he’ll be returning for a fifth year with the Bulldogs.

The 6-foot-4, 330-pound senior started all 10 games for Georgia, the first nine at left guard before moving to right guard for the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl.
