What do we know about the Condon?

Condon is a 3 star offensive tackle from Oklahoma City who rates as a 3-star prospect. He’s a big guy. As in really big. He’s currently listed at around 6 ft 7 and a shade over 300lbs. That’s the kind of profile that UGA has been missing the past couple of years. Consider that the current proposed starter on the left side is Isaiah Wynn who is 6 ft 2 and you get the picture. Georgia needs some bigger tackles. UGA added plenty of players in this regards in the 2017 class. Isaiah Wilson, Andrew Thomas and D’Marcus Hayes are all over 6 ft 4 and 300lbs. Condon will join this lineman revolution.

He’s the son of a UGA grad, his mother and so despite growing up in Oklahoma City, he’s always known about Georgia Football. He is also actually relatively small compared to his father, who according to reports is over 6 ft 9. Now that is a mighty large man! All of which suggests that there is still plenty of room for growth when it comes to Condon over the next few years. Considering the prospects signed in 2017, that is exactly what Kirby Smart is looking for.

His size is only part of his allure. Dawgnation.com’s Jeff Sentell said on a recent podcast that the thing he liked most about Condon is his intelligence. He’s a very sharp guy who will handle his classroom business with ease, giving him plenty of time to work on his football craft. That’s an important thing for a development prospect who will need time.
