Kaplan will shift to left tackle for rest of Georgia State’s season

By
Oct 14, 2014

Georgia State’s A.J. Kaplan will shift from right tackle to left tackle to replace Michael Ivory, who will miss the rest of the season with an injured right foot.

Coach Trent Miles said the coaches are considering moving Taylor Evans from right guard to right tackle, and using either redshirt sophomore Garrett Gorringe, redshirt sophomore Akil Hawkins or junior Steve Wolgamott at right guard.

Kaplan, a redshirt senior, played left tackle some last season. Evans has played two games since returning from an elbow injury. Wolgamott started at right tackle in last week’s loss to Arkansas State. Gorringe has several starts at guard this year.

The Panthers will play at South Alabama on Saturday.
