Georgia sack leader Robert Beal returns to UGA

UGA OLB Robert Beal, the team leader in sacks, is BACK…

Georgia outside linebacker Robert Beal Jr. has elected to forgo the NFL draft and return to Athens for his super senior season.

The 2021 leader in sacks (6.5) was an integral part of Georgia’s national title run after taking over for star EDGE Adam Anderson after his arrest.

The Duluth, Ga., native is a former five-star recruit out of Peachtree Ridge High School who has played behind some NFL pros in his time in Athens.

In 2022, Beal will be joined on the other side of the defense by Nolan Smith, who also elected to return to Athens. The pair helps solidify a defense that will be losing multiple starters to this year’s NFL draft.
