Georgia OL Deftly Rumbled for First Down vs. Vanderbilt, and Fans Were in Awe

Georgia’s star center Sedrick Van Pran showcased his rushing skills on Saturday during the Bulldogs SEC showdown against Vanderbilt.

Saturday’s SEC showdown between No. 1 Georgia and Vanderbilt produced a play that allowed Bulldogs center Sedrick Van Pran to showcase his rushing ability.

During Georgia’s scoring drive of the game, Van Pran scooped up a fumbled snap and headed up field. The 6’ 4”, 310-pound lineman broke through the arms of several Commodore defenders, converting a third-and-1 into a six-yard gain and a first down.

CBS Sports analyst Ross Tucker, a former NFL offensive lineman, raved about Van Pran’s incredible play.

“Oh my gosh, are you kidding me?” said Tucker. “It’s a fumbled quarterback snap that the center picks up … Van Pran, the big man, jumps over the D-tackle, breaks a tackle, busts out a spin move, and that’s Georgia’s longest run of the day!”
