LOS ANGELES — The moving and shaking that will be a constant with Georgia’s roster over the next couple of weeks has begun.
Though many players had implied or were assumed to be heading to the NFL after the end of the season, official announcements were starting to trickle out Tuesday. The most notable one came early afternoon from junior defensive tackle Jalen Carter. Carter is projected as a top-5 pick in April’s NFL draft. Accordingly, nobody reasonably expected him to return to Georgia for a senior season.
“I can’t thank coach Smart and his staff enough for their commitment to helping me develop into the best version of myself on and off the field,” Carter wrote on his social-media accounts. I also want to thank my position coach, Tray Scott. My teammates present and past have built bonds that will last a lifetime and memories that will live on forever.”
