Starting guard Justin Shaffer was announced as the newest member of the Agency 1 Sports group that will help college athletes negotiate and take advantage of the NCAA's new NIL laws that began in July.
Shaffer is one of the first Georgia offensive linemen to announce a partnership with an agency to help out with NIL deals. The former Ellenwood, Georgia native will be entering his fifth season in Athens this fall.
Shaffer is one of two starters from a year ago to take advantage of the NCAA's eligibility waiver that allowed all college athletes a free year of eligibility. Shaffer returned to Athens alongside Devonte Wyatt, starting defensive tackle for an extra year between the hedges.
It is largely expected that Shaffer will be the starting left guard in week one when Georgia travels to Charlotte for a neutral site season opener against Clemson.
