Georgia football players take to Twitter to try and save CFB season

Following the postponement of the Big Ten and PAC-12 football seasons, Georgia football players took to Twitter to express their opinions.

Following the somber news of the Big Ten and PAC-12 postponing their fall sports due to COVID-19 safety concerns, a number of Georgia football players took to Twitter in an attempt to voice their opinions on playing this season.

Malik Herring, James Cook, Jamaree Salyer and Justin Shaffer were some of the Dawgs players who tweeted out the trending movement among athletes: #WeWantToPlay.

Georgia head coach Kirby Smart supported his players stance and gave them retweets on their posts.

The 2020 college football season could be hard to salvage with two of the five Power Five conferences opting out of the season, but that isn’t stopping players from expressing themselves.

Georgia Bulldogs defensive lineman Malik Herring gave Dan Lanning’s defense a big boost when he decided to return for his senior season

Malik Herring (#10):

Class: Senior

Height: 6-3

Weight: 280 pounds

Hometown: Forsyth, Georgia

High School: Mary Persons High School

Georgia Bulldogs defensive lineman Malik Herring gave Dan Lanning’s defense a big boost when he decided to return for his senior season. As a junior, Herring played in 12 games and recorded 29 tackles.

Herring was a key piece in Georgia’s top rated 2019 rushing and scoring defense. He also frequented the opposing backfield racking up 18 pressures in the process.

Herring has been a big-factor against the Florida Gators. Over his career he has seven tackles, five QB pressures, and a forced fumble against the Gators.

Georgia fans should expect Herring to start at 3-4 defensive end for the Dawgs next season. Herring came to Georgia as a four-star prospect and is living up to his billing. He’s seen lots of playing time since he was a freshman.

Watch out for Herring when the Dawgs take on the Gators! Herring will look to bump up his NFL Draft stock with a big senior season. Best of luck to Malik.

Georgia football’s Malik Herring reaches NFL draft decision

Georgia Bulldogs defensive lineman Malik Herring will be returning to Athens. Herring was considering entering into the 2020 NFL Draft.

Georgia Bulldogs defensive lineman Malik Herring will be returning to Athens for his senior season. Herring was considering entering into the 2020 NFL Draft.

Herring recorded 26 tackles and a half sack on the season. He announced his decision to return via Twitter:

Herring will help lead an impressive UGA defense in 2020. Herring was a key part of a Georgia defensive front that didn’t allow a rushing touchdown to a running back all season. Don’t look too much into his stats. Georgia’s defensive front dominated, especially against the run and Herring was a key part of that. He joins Richard LeCounte as the latest Dawgs to announce their return to Athens.

UGA’s defensive line loses Tyler Clark and Michael Barnett, but is returning Malik Herring, Jordan Davis, Julian Rochester, Travon Walker, and possibly Devonte Wyatt. Georgia’s defense will be among the best in the country once again.
