Georgia Bulldogs news: Spring injury update, 5-Star LB in Athens, Buckeyes hate this NIL deal

The Georgia Bulldogs are in the middle of spring practice and there is news to share beyond Kendall Milton’s injury. 

Georgia running back Kendall Milton has been shut down for the rest of the spring with an injury, but overall the Bulldogs are making it through spring practice with very little to report in terms of injured players. These players other than Milton who are currently on the UGA injury report:

RB Andrew Paul (ACL recovery – limited)
TE Pearce Spurlin (Collarbone – out for spring)
OG Joshua Miller (Shoulder – limited)
ILB CJ Washington (Head/Neck recovery – out for spring)
OLB Jalon Walker (Shoulder surgery recovery – out for spring)
OLB Marvin Jones Jr. (Shoulder surgery recovery – out for spring)
S Dan Jackson (Stress fracture recovery – out for spring)

Five-star linebacker Sammy Brown out of Jefferson, Ga. has included Georgia in his top six schools along with Notre Dame, Ohio State, Clemson, Tennessee, and Oklahoma. He will reportedly be paying a visit to Athens this weekend. From there, he’ll head to Oklahoma and Tennessee during the first week of April.
