Georgia defensive assistants Rocker, Sherrer staying on staff

Kirby Smart’s Georgia defensive coaching staff is nearly complete.

AJ Reynolds/Staff Georgia defensive line coach Tracy Rocker speaks with players during Georgia football practice on April 10.

Defensive line coach Tracy Rocker and outside linebackers coach Kevin Sherrer will remain on staff, the school announced on Tuesday morning.

They will enter their third seasons after arriving to work under then coordinator Jeremy Pruitt in 2014. Sherrer is coaching the inside linebackers during bowl practices so his exact role under Smart may depend on how Smart completes his defensive staff.

Rocker returning for a third season at Georgia brings more stability to a defensive front that had three position coaches in three years before his hire.
