In a release, UGA announced that linebacker Richard Samuel has been moved from the defensive side back to the offensive backfield. Samuel was a tailback as a freshman (2008) and sophomore (2009), but moved to linebacker last year due in part to the switch to a 3-4 defense. He did not play in 2010 because of an injury and took a redshirt.
“After discussions with Richard, his family, and our coaches I’m excited that Richard wants to make the move,” said head coach Mark Richt in a statement. “He’s one of our fastest and most powerful players, is very mature, has a strong character and is a man we can count on. I¹m proud of him for always putting the team first and I look forward to seeing what he can do.”
“I’m excited about the opportunity at tailback,” said Samuel. “I’m ready to do anything that will help the team win.”
