Could star UGA football CB Richard LeCounte play basketball in 2019-2020?

It is fairly common to see athletes, including football players who commit to Georgia, play multiple sports in high school and throughout their childhood. However, the days of multi-sport athletes at the professonional and even collegiate levels seem to be fading away as time goes by.

Aside from Kyler Murray, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft and No. 9 overall pick in the 2018 MLB Draft, it is rare to see an athlete in today’s world excel so much in multiple sports.

With the proven success of Murray and countless athletes of the past however, there’s little to no reason not to believe Georgia’s Richard LeCounte could join the basketball team this winter once football concludes.
