Lineman coaches in Georgia
11 vetted O-line & D-line coaches in Georgia · 14 lineman camps in-state.
Georgia produces trench talent at a rate that rivals any state in the South, and the Atlanta metro is the engine. The directory carries NFL-credentialed pass-rush and line coaches working out of the metro year-round — Chuck Smith's edge-rush work is nationally known — plus a deep bench of O-line and D-line trainers serving the suburb powerhouse high schools (Buford, Marietta, Mill Creek, Grayson, Westlake, North Cobb).
Below are the vetted Georgia lineman coaches LinePlay tracks, the camps in-state (the UGA and Georgia Tech program camps plus the OL Masterminds Southeast leg route through here), and the trainers who travel in. For a Georgia lineman, pairing a metro-Atlanta trainer with the in-state camp circuit is the highest-leverage off-season plan in the Southeast.
Why train at the line in Georgia
- Atlanta-metro density — NFL and SEC alumni trainers live and coach here year-round.
- Feeder high schools (Buford, Mill Creek, Grayson, Westlake) keep a steady market of trench-specific coaching.
- UGA + Georgia Tech program camps and the OL Masterminds Southeast leg pair naturally with private coaching.

Common questions about lineman coaching in Georgia
- How do I find a lineman coach in Georgia?
- LinePlay maintains a vetted directory of offensive- and defensive-line coaches and trainers in Georgia — 11 on the current list. Each coach is reviewed by Coach Jay Freeman or a regional captain, and you contact them directly through the link on their card (Instagram, website, or a LinePlay intro). Filter by position and level to find the right fit.
- How much does a private offensive or defensive line coach cost?
- Private lineman coaching varies widely by coach, format, and region — group sessions are typically the most affordable, while one-on-one work with an NFL-credentialed trainer costs more. Pricing isn't standardized, so message the coach directly for current rates. Camps and group clinics are a lower-cost way to get coached reps, and Coach Jay's 6-week training program is free.
- Are there defensive line coaches in Georgia?
- Yes — 7 of the vetted Georgia coaches work the defensive line (D-line-specific coaching is rarer than O-line nationally, so this is a useful filter). Use the position tags on each card to find D-line and pass-rush specialists.
- What if there's no lineman coach near me in Georgia?
- Three options: message a trainer who travels to Georgia, attend one of the 14 lineman camps in-state, or run Coach Jay Freeman's free 6-week position-specific program (available at /quiz) alongside the step-by-step technique library. Plenty of linemen develop without a full-time local coach.
- Who vets the Georgia lineman coaches?
- The LinePlay coach directory is reviewed by founder Coach Jay Freeman (32 years coaching the offensive and defensive line) and regional captains. Verified coaches carry a checkmark; listed coaches are real and public but not yet LinePlay-verified.
