The senior is one of the returning leaders from Georgia’s record-breaking 2021 defense, racking up 35 tackles, four pass breakups, three interceptions and two quarterback pressures in 12 games.
Great route recognition by Christopher Smith! Follows Bo Nixβs eyes the whole way and gets the ball back for Georgia.
