Netori Johnson moves back to offensive line for Georgia Sugar drills

Netori Johnson is back on offense. Whether it’s permanent or temporary is unknown, but the former 4-star prospect out of Atlanta’s Cedar Grove was fully involved with Georgia’s offensive line and new position coach Matt Luke during Sugar Bowl practice Sunday at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome.

Johnson was a U.S. Army All-American as an offensive lineman when he signed with UGA in 2017. But after a redshirt year and some reserve work on offense in 2018, Johnson was moved to defensive line this past spring. Johnson played in four games as a nose guard and finished with four tackles, a sack and two tackles for loss.

The Bulldogs could use the extra help. They’ll be without four front-line players for Wednesday’s game against No. 7 Baylor (8:45 p.m., ESPN). Other observations from practice:

■ Senior Tyrique McGhee was not spotted with the defensive backs. That’s significant because McGhee has the ability to play all positions in the secondary, including free safety, where the Bulldogs will be missing J.R. Reed (foot).

■ Redshirt freshman receiver Kearis Jackson appeared to be full-go in Sunday’s full-contact practice. Jackson sprained an ankle early in the SEC Championship against LSU.
