Seven Georgia defensive players were drafted in all, including first-round linebackers Jarvis Jones (Pittsburgh) and Alec Ogletree (St. Louis) and third-round selections in nose guard John Jenkins (New Orleans) and safety Shawn Williams (Cincinnati).
"I know we’ve got guys on our defense that are phenomenal," King said. "For me to be a guy on our offense that made it to the league and got drafted, it’s pretty good."
Nose guard Kwame Geathers, who left after his redshirt junior season, went undrafted, though he will sign as a free agent with San Diego, according to a tweet from Georgia’s official Twitter account.
Cornerback Branden Smith said via text he will sign with Tampa Bay.
Receiver Marlon Brown (Houston), defensive end Abry Jones (Jacksonville) and linebackers Christian Robinson (St. Louis) and Mike Gilliard (St. Louis) tweeted they would sign as free agents.
I think it is sad how an accusation can change the course of a young man's life. Hopefully he will choose to take advantage of what are still good opportunities before they are gone.
Lawyers for former Auburn player and current Cleveland Browns linebacker Quentin Groves suggest his defense will be that he didn't know about the money, didn't know what the money was for, and didn't know what would happen if the money exchanged hands... Groves indicated his support for this defense stating, "Hey, it's worked before!"
Due to corporate sponsorship rules blah blah blah THE PEACH BOWL MIGHT BE BACK, BABY! Now we turn to the question of why they ever changed it in the first place...
Creepy? Maybe a little. But still a very cool and well-constructed chicken salad tribute to our beloved former linebacker. (His dreadlocks are made of thousands of raisins!) For the story: Jarvis Jones Gets a Human Sandwich Statue Go DAWGS!
In case you have not heard, Georgia secured the commitment of Jeb Blazevich, a 2014 four-star tight end prospect out of Charlotte, NC. Jeb picked Georgia over offers from Alabama, Clemson, Ohio State, Ole Miss and Notre Dame. He credits his relationship with the coaches, the direction of the program and God's calling as major factors influencing his decision. Ranked No. 90 in the ESPN 150 and the third-best TE prospect in the country, this is a big commitment for the 2014 recruiting class. Please join me in welcoming Jeb to the Bulldog Nation!
Charley Trippi is the oldest living No. 1 pick. In this article, he remembers the good old days.
We got a commitment from Cameron Forte. I suspected we'd go after a JUCO forward, but it sounds like this guy is more of a 3/4 hybrid instead of a true low post guy. Assistant Coach Kwanza Johnson is also leaving, supposedly for TCU, though supposedly he had an offer to join Tubby's staff at Texas Tech. Apparently Jonas Hayes will now be elevated from his role as Operations Coordinator to Assistant Coach.
UGA freshman baseball player JT Phillips was arrested in the wee hours of Saturday morning. He was charged with DUI alcohol, failure to produce a license on demand, going the wrong way on a one-way street and underage possession of alcohol. Can't blame the ACC cops on this one... just a dumb kid doing a dumb thing.
