According to the Athens Banner-Herald‘s Marc Weiszer, signee Sterling Bailey underwent surgery last week to repair a shoulder issue following the completion of his high school’s basketball season. His coach in that sport, Bryan Gray, told the paper that Bailey “had some tears in his labrum”.
It was Bailey’s decision to delay the surgery until after the conclusion of basketball season, although Gray said that UGA “been advising him and he’s been in constant communication with Georgia’s medical staff.”
Putting off that surgery, however, may have an impact on his availability for the start of camp this summer. For his part, Gray feels that there will be enough time between now and the start of camp for the defensive end, who’s slated to be a linebacker with the Bulldogs, to finish rehab and put himself in a position where he’s 100-percent healthy to start his freshman year.
“Knowing the kid and his great work ethic, I’m sure he’ll be ready to go come August,” Gray said.
If not, there’s always a chance that the team will decide to redshirt Bailey, who was rated as the No. 8 DE in the country by Rivals.
