Georgia lineman calls it quits for ‘personal reasons’

Brent Benedict has left the Bulldogs citing personal reasons, coach Mark Richt said Sunday.

The university sent out a press release confirming the departure.

Benedict was a four-star lineman out of the Bolles School in Jacksonville and sat out last season as he recovered from major knee damage suffered during his senior year of high school. However, Benedict participated in this season’s spring practice and was listed as the backup to Cordy Glenn at right tackle.

He is one of the greatest guys out there in athletics and very dedicated to his sport. With that said, I find it dificult to believe that the personal reasons were related directly to knee issues. Yes, he looks like he struggles at the walk with that knee injury, but he has heart and sense about his decisions in life. He is a great guy and something is up...
