Kirby Smart says OL Amarius Mims dealing with 'some lower back issues'

Georgia head coach Kirby smart spoke on UGA players’ injuries recently and mentioned that freshman offensive tackle Amarius Mims, a former 5-star recruit, is dealing with some lower back problems.

“Amarius missed some time, so it’s been a tougher progress with him,” Smart said. “Amarius is getting better, but he has some lower back issues, spasms, so he’s had to sit out of some practice time. Not necessarily a whole practice. He hasn’t gotten the reps, and you need lots of reps, but he’s going to grow into a really talented player.”

Mims committed to Georgia on October 14th, 2020. He chose the Dawgs over other major schools such as Alabama, Auburn, Clemson, Florida State, and LSU.
