QUARTERBACKS One junior and tworedshirt freshmen will

line up in the spring to

compete for the QB job.

Logan Gray (6-2, 192, Jr.)

is the only letterman at the

position and his experi-

ence taking snaps has beenlimited although he has

also returned punts for

the Bulldogs. His passing

totals from 09 include

5x12 passing for 31 yards.

Aaron Murray (6-1, 206,

RFr.) and Zach Metten-

berger (6-5, 230, RFr.)

both were highly regarded

and entered Georgia early

in January, 09. Although

they had the advantage of

last spring practice as well as the fall, neither has ever taken a

snap in a college game.

RUNNING BACKS With the return of the top two tailbacks from 2009, WashaunEaley (5-11, 205, So.) and Caleb King (5-11, 210, Jr.), the Dogs

had the luxury of moving Richard Samuel (6-2, 222, Jr.) to

linebacker, a position at which he excelled in high school. Ealey

led Georgia in rushing in 2009 with 125 carries for 717 yards and

three TDs. He was followed closely by King who carried 114

times for 594 yards and seven TDs. Also back providing depth

will be Carlton Thomas (5-7, 180, RSo.) who carried 22 times

for 92 yards in 09 and Dontavius Jackson (5-10, 205, RSo.) who

played in three games recording three carries for 38 yards.

The fullback spot

will also be a strength

with the return of

seniors Shaun Chapas

(6-2, 245, Sr.) and

Fred Munzenmaier

(6-2, 240, Sr.). Chapas

carried seven times

for 45 yards and one

TD in 09 along with

nine catches for 50yards and one TD.

Munzenmaier added

10 carries for 36 yards

and 2 TDs. Both are

exceptional block-

ers. Charles White

(6-1, 224, Jr.) has also

recently moved from

linebacker to fullback.

2010 Spring Outlook

Georgia heads into the spring with lots of optimism on get-ting back into the upper echelon of the Southeastern Conference.

Despite winning eight or more games for the 13th consecutive

year in 2009, the Bulldogs had grown accustomed to better.

The Dogs enter the spring with three new defensive coaches

representing the largest single year change since head coach

Mark Richt took over in 2001. New defensive coordinator Todd

Grantham has come in to implement a 3-4 defensive scheme. Hisresume includes nine years in the college ranks with Michigan

State and Virginia Tech and 11 more in the NFL, most recently

with the Dallas Cowboys in 2008 and 09.

Other new coaches include secondary coach Scott Lakatos

who joins the Bulldogs after six years at UConn and lineback-

ers coach Warren Belin who has spent the last eight seasons at

Vanderbilt. Add returning veteran defensive line coach Rodney

Garner and the Dogs have a solid defensive unit in place to

install the new scheme.

Ontheeld,Georgiawillreturn17of24startersincluding

10 on offense. A total of 49 lettermen return. The Bulldogs also

return what may be the best kicking tandem in college football:

Drew Butler, winner of the 2009 Ray Guy Award as the nations

toppunter,andBlairWalsh,oneofthreenalistsfortheLou

Groza Award as the nations most outstanding placekicker.

The biggest uncertainty on offense is the quarterback posi-

tion. With senior Joe Cox graduating, three candidates will begin

the competition for the starting role this spring: junior Logan

Gray and redshirt freshmen Aaron Murray and Zach Mettenberg-

er.

Ondefense,itwillallbeaboutthenew3-4schemeandt-

ting the current players into the positions that suit them best.

Washaun Ealey



WIDE RECEIVERS One of the nations premier receivers returns in A.J. Green(6-4, 207, Jr.) who led the team in 09 with 53 receptions for

808yardsandsixTDs.HewasaconsensusAll-SECrst

team selection for the second year in a row and has established

himself as a Biletnikoff Award candidate for 2010 with a knack

for making big

catches at critical

times in importantgames. Hell have

help from return-

ing starter Tavarres

King (6-1, 180,

RSo.) who posted

18 catches for 377

yards (an average

of 20.9 yards per

catch) and one TD.

Four other return-

ing lettermen will

alsogureintothe

receiving rotation:

Israel Troupe (6-1,

215, Jr.), Rantavious

Wooten 5-10, 170,

So.), Marlon Brown (6-5, 200, So.), and Kris Durham (6-5, 209,

Sr.), who returns after missing 09 with an injury.

TIGHT ENDS Four returning lettermen should make this a strong point ofthe Bulldog attack. Aron White (6-4, 236, Jr.) had 12 starting

assignments in 09, recorded 13 catches for 198 yards and four

TD, and was named the Most Outstanding Offensive Player inthe 2009 Advocare V100 Independence Bowl after his two TD

performance. Other lettermen returning include Orson Charles

(6-3, 230, So.), the teams third leading receiver in 09 with 23

receptions for 374 yards and three TDs; Arthur Lynch (6-5, 250,

So.), who played in 11 games in 09; and Bruce Figgins (6-4,

260, Jr.), who last out last year with an injury but played in 24

games in 07 and 08.

OFFENSIVE LINE Withallvestartersandeightlettermenreturning,theoffen-sive line should be a strength of the team. OT Clint Boling (6-5,

304,Sr.),All-SECrstteamin09;OTJustinAnderson(6-5,

330, Jr.); OG Chris Davis (6-4, 295, Sr.); OG Cordy Glenn (6-5,

328, Jr.); and C Ben Jones (6-3, 300, Jr.) represent the entire start-

ing unit along with OT Josh Davis (6-6, 300, Sr.), who earned a

starting spot the last part of the season. OG Tanner Strickland

(6-5, 328, Jr.), who is coming off a redshirt year due to injury,will be returning for the fall along with OT Trinton Sturdivant (6-

5, 306, Jr.). Sturdivant started as a true freshman in 07 but has

missed the last two seasons with knee injuries.

The offensive line will also have competing in the spring

A.J. Harmon (6-5, 310, RSo.), Chris Burnette (6-2, 290, RFr.),

Ben Harden (6-3, 300, Jr.), Jonathan Owens (6-4, 294, RSo.),

Dallas Lee (6-4, 296, RFr.) and true freshman Kolton Houston

(6-5, 270, Fr.), who enrolled in January, 2010. Austin Long (6-5,295, RFr.), who missed all last year with an injury, will not be

ready for spring but is expected to be ready for the fall.

DEFENSIVE LINE/LINEBACKERS With the new 3-4 defensive scheme being implemented, thespringwillbespentdeterminingwhichplayerstbestinwhich

positions. So early on here is a rundown of the players who will

be competing for positions at linebacker and/or defensive line:

Fairly certain to be playing at the linebacker positions will

be returning starter Darryl Gamble (6-2, 250, Sr.) and co-starters

Marcus Dowtin (6-2, 220, Jr.) and Akeem Dent (6-2, 233, Sr.).

Gamble started 11 games in 09 and recorded 47 total tackles.Dowtin started only four games but was the teams third lead-

ing tackler with 57 total tackles, seven tackles-for-loss, two

sacks, and six pass break-ups. Dent also started four games and

recorded 32 tackles. Other likely linebackers include returning

lettermen Nick Williams (6-2, 219, Jr.), Christian Robinson (6-2,

216, RSo.), and Michael Gilliard (6-2, 200, So.). Added to the

mix will be converted tailback Richard Samuel (6-2, 222, Jr.),

who was an outstanding high school linebacker, Akeem Hebron

(6-1, 223, Sr.), and Chase Vasser (6-3, 215, RFr.).

Returning lettermen that are likely to compete for time at the

three downlineman positions include DeAngelo Tyson (6-2, 294,

Jr.), Abry Jones (6-3, 290, So.), and Brandon Wood (6-1, 286,

Sr.). Those three played in a total of 35 games in 09 so they all

have game experience. Also in the mix will be redshirt redshirt

freshmen Kwame Geathers (6-6, 326, RFr.) and Derrick Lott (6-

4, 295, RFr.).

Several returning players, including two starters, will be

competing for jobs but may or may not be at the position they

covered last season. Justin Houston (6-3, 259, Jr.), a second

team All-SEC selection, and Demarcus Dobbs (6-2, 274, Sr.)

were Georgias starting defensive ends in 09. Houston led the

team with 7.5

sacks and 15

tackles-for-loss

in addition

to 39 tackles.

Dobbs started

Robinson played in 11 games in 09 and recorded two tackles-

for-loss and two sacks. Tripp has played both DE and DT duringhis career on defense. Also competing for one of these spots will

be Jeremy Longo (6-3, 255, RSo.).

SECONDARY Despite losing three starters, the secondary does have eightreturning lettermen to compete in the spring. The lone returning

starter is cornerback

Brandon Boykin

was the teams

fourth leading

tackler with 54tackles. He also

Gloer (5-10, 193, Sr.). Also expected in the cornerback mix will

be Jordan Love (6-0, 185, RFr.).

Returning lettermen at safeties include Quintin Banks (6-2,

Bulldog Spring Storylines: Six Things To Watch

*The Search For A Signal Caller: For the second year in a row, Georgia will have a new quarterback

directing the offense. The candidates for the starting spot include redshirt freshmen Aaron Murray and Zach

Mettenberger and junior Logan Gray after 2009 starter Joe Cox graduated.

*Switching To A 3-4: Todd Grantham joins the Bulldog coaching staff as Georgias new defensive

coordinator and will be installing a 3-4 defense. Grantham comes to the Bulldogs from the Dallas Cowboys

and will be joined by secondary coach Scott Lakatos and linebackers coach Warren Belin. The Bulldogs lost

their three premier defensive tackles in Jeff Owens, Geno Atkins and Kade Weston to graduation.

*Defensive Stars? Along with installing a new 3-4 defense, Georgia lost its top two returning tacklers

after linebacker Rennie Curran and safety Reshad Jones left early for the NFL Draft.

*Questions Linger At Receiver: Junior A.J. Green will headline the Bulldog receivers after leading

the team with 53 catches for 808 yards and six TDs. Tavarres King (18, 377, 1) and Rantavious Wooten (10,

197, 2) are the top returning receivers. Georgia will welcome back Kris Durham to the lineup after he missed

the 2009 season with a shoulder injury. One of Georgias strengths will be at tight end as Aron White, Orson

Charles and Arthur Lynch will be joined by Bruce Figgins, who will be returning after redshirting with an

injury last season.

*Specializing In Specialists: Georgia features three of the top specialists in the nation. 2009 Ray

Guy winner Drew Butler, 2009 Lou Groza Award nalist Blair Walsh and kickoff return standout Brandon

Boykin all return for the Bulldogs. Boykin set the SEC record with two 100-yard kickoff returns for touch-

downs in the same season and a school-record 988 return yards.

*Who Will Emerge This Spring? Justin Houston is one of the top returning defensive ends in the

SEC after emerging as a dominant pass rusher during the 2009 season. Houston nished third in the leaguein sacks with 7.5 and second in the league with TFLs with 15 in just 10 games last season.

Winning With RichtMark Richt is one of only seven head coaches who has won 90 or more NCAA Division I football game

in his rst nine seasons. His victories in that span include two SEC Championships and 29 wins over ranked

teams. Georgia has attended a bowl game every season since Mark Richt took over as head coach and theteams current streak of post-season appearances stands at 13.

OFFENSEThe QB Race This years spring practice will feature an intense battle for the startingquarterback job between three candidates. Redshirt freshmen Aaron Murray

and Zach Mettenberger will join junior Logan Gray as the candidates to be-

come the starting signal caller. Murray, a former Parade/U.S Army/SuperPrep

All-American at Plant HS in Tampa, Fla., led Plant to the 2008 Florida Class

4-A state title and was named MVP at the EA Sports Elite 11 camp. Murray

(6-1, 206) has been enrolled at UGA since January 2009 before redshirting

last season. Mettenberger (6-5, 230), a product of nearby Watkinsville, Ga.,

competed alongside Murray at the Elite 11 camp and also enrolled early in Janu-

ary 2009. Gray is the only one of the three candidates who has appeared in a

game at quarterback for the Bulldogs. He saw action during the 2009 season

and went 5-of-12 for 31 yards with two INTs. Gray has seen his most action

as a punt returner. In two seasons, he has two punt returns for 70 yards. Gray

has also scrambled 56 yards on 11 carries from his quarterback position during

those two years.

Offensive Front Becomes A Force In 2009The Bulldog offensive line led the SEC with the fewest sacks allowed.

The unit allowed only 12 sacks

in 13 games for a loss of 96

yards in 2009. During the sea-

son they started six different

alignments. Georgia rolled

up 339 yards on the ground

to help knock off #7 Georgia

Tech and gained 1,216 yards

on the ground over the final

ve games. Josh Davis began

starting at RT for the Bulldogs

against Vanderbilt after returning from an injury. Clint Boling, who had started

the rst six games at RT as a junior last year, got the nod at LT the last six games

while playing at RG for one game during the middle of the year. He was named

to the 2009 AP All-SEC second team. Georgia started Trinton Sturdivant

(LT), Chris Davis (LG), Ben Jones (C), Cordy Glenn (RG) and Boling (RT)

in their season opener. Sturdivant, who was a Freshman All-American after

starting 13 games in 2007 and then missed the 2008 season due to a left knee

injury, re-injured his knee at #9 OSU and was lost for the rest of the season.

Plenty Of Options At TE The Bulldogs feature one of the deepest and most versatile groups of

tight ends in the country. Aron White started 12 games as a redshirt sophomore

last season and was named the

Offensive MVP of the Indepen-

dence Bowl after hauling in two

touchdown passes. He nished

with 13 catches for 198 yards

and four TDs on the year. Orson

Charles earned Freshman All-

America honors after appearing

in all 13 games, including three

starts. He ranked third on the

team with 23 catches for 374

yards and three scores. In his

freshman season, Arthur Lynch saw action in 11 games and had two catches

for 17 yards in 2009. The Bulldogs also welcome back Bruce Figgins who

redshirted in 2009 with a shoulder injury. In his Bulldog career, Figgins has

appeared in 24 games, including three starts, with ve catches for 56 yards and

one touchdown.

Green Gearing For 1,000 YardsA.J. Green nished second in the SEC receiving yards/game (80.8) and

rec./game (5.3) and was named to the AP All-SEC rst team as a sophomore

in 2009. But after catching

three balls for 19 yards

versus #25 Auburn, Green

was forced to leave the

game with an injured left

shoulder AC (Acromio-

clavicular) sprain at the

beginning of the second

quarter and did not playversus Kentucky and #7

Georgia Tech. Green re-

turned to lead the Bulldogs

in the bowl win over Texas

A&M after snagging six

catches for 57 yards. He

also missed the game with

Tennessee Tech due to a bruised lung that happened against top-ranked Florida

on Oct. 31.

Greens top performance in 2009 came against Arizona State when he

snagged eight catches for 153 yards and a touchdown. It was his fourth career

100-yard game, and he was named the SEC Offensive Player of the Week. He

also blocked his rst career eld goal late in the fourth quarter against the Sun

Devils to help secure the win.

In 2008, Green led the SEC in receiving yardage, yards per game andtied for rst in TDs by receivers. He became the rst Bulldog to lead the SEC

in receiving since Brice Hunter (59 rec.,799 yds.,7 TDs) in 1994.

Bulldog Tailbacks Strong Down The StretchThe Bulldogs had four different leading rushers in 2009, but nished

the year by employing a combination

ofCaleb King and Washaun Ealey.

The Bulldogs tallied 1,216 yards rush-

ing in their last ve games, including339 in the road win over #7 Georgia

Tech. The 339 rushing yards was the

most in a game since 1988 when the

Bulldogs rumbled for 372 yards on 53

carries in a 59-24 win over William &

Mary.

Also, the Bulldogs had two

100-yard rushers for the rst time

since 2004 against the Yellow Jackets.

Ealey tallied a career-high 183

yards on 20 carries (9.1/carry) while

King registered a career-best 166

yards on 19 carries (9.2/carry) and two touchdowns. Ealey was named the

SEC Freshman of the Week for the second time this season after the Georgia

Tech game. Ealey had a career-high 98 yards rushing on 18 carries and ontouchdown versus Auburn and was also named SEC Freshman of the Week

King started the nal ve games of 2009.

Richard Samuel began the 2009 season at tailback and started six

games and nished with 395 yards rushing. However, Samuel will be switch

ing to linebacker in the spring for his junior year.

Paving The Way For The TailbacksSeniors Shaun Chapas and Fred Munzenmaier return for their na

season at fullback for the Bulldogs. This duo has the ability to run-block, bu

has also shown the ability to move the chains. Chapas gained 45 yards on

seven carries and had one score plus nine catches for 50 yards and one score

Munzenmaier had 10 carries for 36 yards and two TDs and also caught three

passes for 21 yards.



Houston Is SECs Top Returning Sack-MasterDespite playing in only 10 games as a sophomore, Justin Houston n-

ished second in the SEC with a team-leading 7.5

sacks and 15 tackles for loss. For his efforts, he

was named to the AP All-SEC second team. The

Bulldogs registered 30 sacks in 2009 compared to

just 12 by their opponents. After missing the rst

two games of the year, Houston made his debut

with a career-high seven tackles against Arkansas.

He also had a ne performance in the win over #7Georgia Tech with six tackles and two tackles for

loss.

DE Demarcus Dobbs started all 13 games of

2009 at the other defensive end spot and nished

with 30 tackles and 4.5 sacks as a junior. Another

Bulldog to keep an eye on is redshirt sophomore

Cornelius Washington after he gained experience in 2009. He nished with

13 tackles, four sacks and 15 quarterback pressures.

No Dowtin The Bulldog LinebackersIn Georgias new 3-4 scheme, the linebackers will play an important role

in slowing the oppositions offensive attack. The Bulldogs top returning

tackler is junior linebacker Marcus Dowtin. Dowtin registered 57 tackles last

season, including seven TFLs and two sacks. He appeared in 11 games with

four starts. One of those starts came against Texas A&M in the IndependenceBowl as Dowtin recorded a career-high nine tackles to lead the Bulldog defense.

Georgias returning linebackers also include senior Darryl Gamble, who had

47 tackles, and senior Akeem Dent, who nished with 32.

Richard Samuel will be getting his rst try at linebacker after lining up

for his rst two seasons at tailback. Samuel had 395 yards and two touchdowns

on 88 carries and played in 11 games with six starts. He was the Bulldogs

leading rusher for the rst three games of 2009.

The linebackers will have a couple new coaches in Todd Grantham,

who is also the defensive coordinator, and Warren Belin.

New Faces Abound In Secondary Brandon Boykin returns for his junior season to lead the Bulldogs

youthful secondary in 2010.

Boykin was fourth on the teamin 2009 with 54 tackles and

three interceptions while start-

ing 12 of 13 games. Boykin is

the lone returning member of

the secondary as Prince Miller

and Bryan Evans graduated

and Reshad Jones entered the

NFL Draft early. Redshirt

sophomore safety Bacarri

Rambo played in 11 games

for the Bulldogs last season and nished with 25 stops and two INTs.

Also getting snaps at defensive back in 2009 wereBranden Smith and Vance

Cuff. Smith started one game and played in all 13 and in addition to his 14

tackles, he had 17 carries for 211 yards and two scores on offense. Cuff had

21 tackles in 2009 after starting one game and playing in nine. In addition,redshirt sophomore Sanders Commings will be attempting to earn more play-

ing time after playing in all 13 games last year and nishing with 12 tackles

and one interception.

Mid-year enrollee Jakar Hamilton joined the Bulldogs in January and is

expected to make an immediate impact. Hamilton had 50 tackles, four picks

and eight pass break-ups for Georgia Military College in 2009.

Bulldog Defense Welcomes Three New Coaches Mark Richt retooled his defensive staff following the 2009 season.

Georgias defensive staff in 2010 will be led by defensive coordinator Todd

Grantham, assistant head coach/defensive line/recruiting coordinator Rod-

ney Garner (12th year at UGA), defensive backs coach Scott Lakatos and

linebackers coach Warren Belin.

Grantham comes to Georgia from the Dallas Cowboys where he was the

defensive line coach from 2008 to 2009. Before arriving in Athens, Grantham

had spent 11 seasons in the NFL but also has had assistant coaching experience

at Virginia Tech and Michigan State.Lakatos comes the Bulldogs from Connecticut where he was the secondary

coach since 2004. Lakatos helped the Huskies have a national ranking of No

9 in pass efciency defense in 2008.

Belin arrives in Athens after spending the last eight seasons coaching

linebackers at Vanderbilt. The 20-year coaching veteran also spent the last

two seasons as the Commodores recruiting coordinator.

Who Will Be The Man In The Middle?Georgias switch to a 3-4 defense puts the spotlight on who will ll the

role at noseguard. The Bulldogs lost their top three defensive linemen in Jeff

Owens, Geno Atkins and Kade Weston. Junior DeAngelo Tyson played in all

13 games last season and nished with 12 tackles. A younger lineman looking

to make an impression is sophomore Abry Jones, who played in 12 games

and had eight tackles and two tackles for loss.

Time For TurnoversIn 2009, Georgia nished 118th out of 120

teams in the Bowl Subdivision with a turnover

ratio of -1.23 . The Bulldog defensive collected

10 interceptions, but the offense threw 17. Re-

shad Jones had four of the 10 interceptions, but

the Bulldogs have Brandon Boykin (3), Bacarri

Rambo (2) and Sanders Commings (1) all back.

Georgia caused nine fumbles but recovered just

two, which was the fewest in the country.

Fourth Quarter DefenseIn the fourth quarter, Georgia surrendered 84 points and scored 83 points

for a -1 margin. In comparison, national champion Alabama was +89 in thefourth quarter. The Tide allowed just 32 points and scored 121 in the nal

period. SEC Eastern Division champion Florida was +52 after surrendering

47 points and scoring 99 points.

SPECIAL TEAMSGeorgia Returns Nations Best Kicking Tandem

Georgia junior punter Drew Butler and junior place-kicker Blair Walsh

rank among the nations best at their re-

spective positions. In 2009, Butler was

a consensus All-American. He was also

the Ray Guy Award winner, which is

given to the nations top punter, while

Walsh was one of three nalists for the

Lou Groza Award, which is given to the

nations top place-kicker. Georgia hadnever won either award before 2009.

Butler became only the third

Bulldog in school history to lead the

NCAA in punting, joining Zeke Brat-

kowski (1953, 42.6) and Bobby Walden

(1958, 45.3). Butler averaged 48.1 on

56 punts. Butler and the Bulldogs also

led the NCAA in Net Punting with an

average of 42.0. This was the rst time

since 1969 that Georgia led the country in Net Punting.

Walsh ranked among the best in school history in Field Goal Percentage

for a single season. He drilled 20-of-22 FGs (90.9 percent) in 2009, including

4-of-5 from 50 or more yards. Billy Bennett holds the school record after hit-

ting 13-of-14 (92.86 percent) in 2000. Walsh has also connected on all 92 of

his PATs during his career and was 42-for-42 in 2009.

A Closer Look At Butler In his rst season as a starter, redshirt sophomore Drew Butler led the

NCAA with an average of 48.1 yards on 56 punts.

Butlers big games included a strong showing versus #1 Florida. He aver-

aged 52.5 yards on four punts, including a 61 yarder. His 57.0 average against

#9 Oklahoma State was the second-best average for a game since 1958 (Bobby

Walden, 63.0). Butlers 75 yarder was the longest since Brian Mimbs booted

a 77 yarder in 2008 versus USC. Versus the Razorbacks, Butler booted a 64

yarder to pin Arkansas on its own 9 yard line late in the fourth quarter to help

clinch the game for the Bulldogs. Strangely enough, neither the Bulldogs or

Georgia Tech punted during their regular season nale in Atlanta. It marked

the rst time since the 1986 Duke game that the Bulldogs did not punt. Butler

also serves as the holder for Blair Walsh.

Butler is the son of former NFL standout and Bulldog All-American KevinButler. Butler is on Georgias post-game radio show. Mitch Frix snapped the

ball to Butler during the 1981-82 seasons and now Frixs son,Ty, snaps to Drew

(see related note).Butlers Career

A Closer Look At WalshBulldog Blair Walsh ended up with the No. 2 spot in school history for

eld goal accuracy in a single season. He hit 20-of-22 (90.9%). The record is

13-of-14 (92.86%) by Billy Bennett in 2000.Walshs consistency made him one of three nalists for the Lou Groza

Award. Walsh connected on a 37-yard FG to beat Arizona State as time expired

in 2009. This was the rst game-winning FG for the Bulldogs since Coutu

drilled one from the same distance to beat Vanderbilt in 2007 (also a 20-17

win). Walsh also hit a career-long 53-yard eld goal at #9 Oklahoma State in

2009 and then connected on a 52 yarder versus Tennessee. His kick against the

Cowboys was the longest FG for the Bulldogs since Brandon Coutu connected

on a 55 yarder against UAB in 2006. Walshs FG was the longest on the road

since Hap Hines hit a 54 yarder vs. Kentucky in 1996.

Frix Following In FootstepsTy Frix serves as Georgias starting snapper. Frix, a Biomedical Engineer

ing major, was valedictorian at Calhoun HS. In 2009, Georgia was looking fo

a new snapper after two-year starter Bo Fowler completed his career. Frixfather, Dr. Mitch Frix, was the starting snapper for Georgia in 1981 and 82

and was member of three SEC championship teams, one national title team and

three Sugar Bowl teams.

Boykin Owns KOR RecordDefensive back Brandon Boykin set the school record for kickoff return

yardage in a single season with 988 kickoff return yards on 38 returns in 2009

He also had the most

kickoff returns in a

season, breaking the

old mark of 28 shared

by Gene Washington

(1974) and Asher

Allen (2007). Van-

derbilts Warren Nor-man holds the SEC

record for return

yardage after regis-

tering 1,050 return

yards on 40 returns

in 2009. Boykin is

the first player in

SEC history with

two 100-yard kickoff

returns for touchdowns in the same season after picking up his second one dur

ing the matchup at Tennessee. Boykin, Norman and Tennessees Willie Gaul

(1980) share the SEC record for KOR TDs in a season with three.
