Following Saturday’s scrimmage, head coach Mark Richt confirmed that sophomore safety Marc Deas has decided to leave the Bulldogs football program. As was the case with defensive end Derrick Lott Friday, Richt said Deas decision was based on the desire for more playing time at another school.
“They love Georgia and we love them,” Richt said in comments distributed by the school. “They had a choice to make. They decided to move on. They’re great kids and we wish them well. … Their teammates understand they’ve got decisions to make and lives to live. No one likes losing a teammate, but we love them and if they think their best chance is at another school then I think their teammates understand.” Deas played in all 14 games for UGA in 2011.
Richt stressed to reporters afterwards that there were no academic or disciplinary issues behind the twin transfers. That stands in sharp contrast to issues that have hit UGA’s defense, specifically the secondary, throughout the offseason.
