University of Georgia president unsure if policy changes needed after fatal crash

ATHENS, Ga. — As university and police investigations continue into the fatal January crash that killed a football player and recruiting staff member, University of Georgia President Jere Morehead said he is unsure whether policy changes will need to be made.

“So far, I haven’t seen anything that has caused me concern,” Morehead said. “Obviously we wish the vehicle had been turned in that evening. But the review is ongoing and I’m confident that if any procedures need to be changed — I’m not sure they will need to be changed — but I’m confident that our athletic director and head coach will do whatever they need to do.”

Morehead’s public comments Tuesday were his most extensive to date about a Jan. 15 crash that killed 20-year-old offensive lineman Devin Willock and recruiting analyst Chandler LeCroy, 24, who was driving. Football player Warren McClendon and recruiting analyst Tory Bowles were also injured in the crash.
