UGA vets chipping in on special teams, too

Snapper Ty Frix called the morning sessions “special teams top to bottom,” everything from snap, to kick to tackle.

That includes All-American linebacker Jarvis Jones, who is working on punt coverage, but he’s unsure if the will play on the unit. Jones did not play on any special teams last year.

“A lot of the guys, especially the older guys, want to get put in those positions,” Jones said. “They know to win the big games we need special teams.
