Georgia Bulldogs news: Star LB arrested, another UGA coach targeted by NFL, more
It was a busy Wednesday for Georgia Bulldogs news. Here’s the latest on what’s happening, starting with more legal trouble for the Dawgs.
Star linebacker Jamon Dumas-Johnson was arrested on Wednesday facing charges of racing on streets and reckless driving. Duman Johnson was booked and later released from the Athens-Clarke County jail. There has been a statement of acknowledgment from the university, but nothing directly from Kirby Smart.
Yet another Georgia assistant coach is being targeted by an NFL team. After losing offensive coordinator Todd Monken to the Baltimore Ravens, the Philadelphia Eagles are reportedly set to interview co-defensive coordinator Glenn Schumann for their vacant DC spot. Schumann has been with Georgia since 2016, starting as a linebackers coach, and moving up to co-defensive coordinator when Dan Lanning left to take the Oregon head coach job.
The National Champion Georgia Bulldogs football team will visit the White House and meet President Joe Biden. The invitation was finally extended to the Dawgs on Wednesday after a lot of speculation as to whether or not they’d be invited.
