Georgia Bulldogs RB Zamir White joins backfield mate James Cook in declaring for NFL draft

Georgia will be without each of its leading rushers when it tries to defend its national championship in 2022.

Junior Zamir White, the team's leading this past season, announced on Friday that he's entering the NFL draft. Senior James Cook announced earlier this week that he is also leaving with one season of eligibility remaining.

White, who overcame two knee injuries and myriad health problems as a child, ran for 856 yards with 11 touchdowns this past season. White, from Laurinburg, North Carolina, ranks 15th in school history with 2,043 rushing yards and led the Bulldogs in rushing in each of the past two seasons.
