Former Georgia offensive lineman Xavier Truss has reportedly signed an undrafted free agent deal with the Denver Broncos, according to NFL insider Aaron Wilson.

Truss joins fellow Georgia defensive tackle Nazir Stackhouse as undrafted free agents after Stackhouse landed with the Green Bay Packers late Saturday.

The 6-foot-7, 320-pound Truss finished his career as a three-year starter along the Bulldogs’ offensive line, starting 41 career games over his six-year career in Athens.

Truss started all 14 games at right tackle last season, but also has experience at left guard, starting 14 of 15 games in 2022 inside at guard, providing some versatility that is always valuable in the NFL, especially among reserve offensive linemen. Truss made his first career start at left tackle in Georgia’s 2020 Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl win over Cincinnati after appearing as a reserve in five games as a redshirt freshman that season.

Truss came to Georgia out of Bishop Hendricken (Warwick, RI) as a four-star prospect in the 2019 recruiting cycle, ranking as the No. 1 player in Rhode Island, the No. 21 offensive tackle recruit and No. 208 overall prospect, according to On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.
