Former UGA football DB retires from football

Former Georgia Bulldogs defensive back Lovasea Carroll retires from football

Former Georgia Bulldogs defensive back Lovasea Carroll has retired from college football due to medical reasons. Carroll transferred to the South Carolina Gamecocks from Georgia after the 2021 college football season.

The 6-foot-1, 195-pound native of Warrenton, Georgia, enrolled early at Georgia after being ranked as four-star running back recruit out of high school powerhouse IMG Academy.

Kirby Smart and Georgia football believed Carroll had a better chance to make an impact as a freshman defensive back. Carroll converted to the position during spring drills and recorded three tackles during his freshman season at Georgia. Carroll played in five games for South Carolina as a sophomore. He played as a running back, but did not receive a carry.

It is sad to see Carroll’s football career end due to medical reasons. Carroll played Warren County High School before attending IMG Academy.

Carroll announced his retirement from football via Twitter:

Former Auburn legend predicts that South Carolina will upset Georgia

Former Auburn Tigers legend Takeo Spikes predicts that Spencer Rattler will help South Carolina upset UGA.

Former Auburn Tigers legend Takeo Spikes predicts that the South Carolina Gamecocks will upset the Georgia Bulldogs this season.

Spikes was the No. 13 pick in the 1998 NFL draft. He went on to have a lengthy NFL career that lasted from 1998-2012. Spikes played high school football at Washington County High School in Sandersville, Georgia.

Why does Takeo Spikes think that South Carolina will upset Georgia at home in week three of the 2022 college football season?

The former Auburn linebacker thinks South Carolina quarterback Spencer Rattler will the key reason why the Gamecocks will upset the defending national champions. Georgia does not have much tape on Rattler against SEC opponents and has not had any previous chances to prepare for him.

Here’s the bold prediction that Spikes made on the SEC Network:

Georgia will be heavily favored when the Dawgs face South Carolina on Sept. 17. The Bulldogs open the season against Oregon on Sept. 3 in Atlanta and then face Samford on Sept. 10 in Athens. South Carolina will be Georgia’s first road game of the season.

The Gamecocks play at Arkansas the week before hosting Georgia.

4-star DB Emory Floyd commits to South Carolina

Four-star safety Emory Floyd has committed to South Carolina over Georgia and Auburn. Gamecocks are on a recruiting surge after a brutal class of 2021.

Four-star safety recruit Emory Floyd has committed to the South Carolina Gamecocks over schools like Georgia and Auburn. Floyd is a rising senior in high school at Hillgrove High School in Powder Springs, Georgia.

Th 6-foot-1, 165-pound safety is the latest player to commit to the Gamecocks. The class of 2022 product has excellent speed and runs track for his high school. Floyd has run 10.5 seconds in the 100-meter race, which would make him one of the fastest players on South Carolina’s roster.

The four-star safety had been on Kirby Smart’s radar since the University of Georgia offered Floyd back in Sept. 2020. Georgia was considered one of the top contenders for Floyd, but Auburn and South Carolina eventually became the leaders for the Hillgrove standout.

Emory Floyd announced his commitment to South Carolina via his Twitter account:

Emory Floyd ranks as the No. 24 safety in the class of 2022 and the No. 355 prospect overall.

The Gamecocks have been on a recruiting surge recently under new head coach Shane Beamer. South Carolina is looking to return to the level of talent they had in the early 2010s.

Overall, South Carolina has the No. 21-ranked recruiting class of 2022 in the country. The Gamecocks have 14 commitments including verbal commitments from three four-star prospects. Overall, Shane Beamer and company have nine commitments in the past three weeks.

Recruits are loving the Gamecock’s recently upgraded facilities. Still, it is not all good news for South Carolina. The Gamecocks had an extremely weak class of 2021, where they added the No. 80-rated recruiting class in the country.

Recruiting well in the offseason does not always translate as Tennessee fans know from last year. South Carolina must put together a solid season in order to keep some of their top commitments. This month is a step in the right direction for the Gamecocks.
