Georgia junior safety Richard LeCounte was among a number of Bulldog players who fielded questions about their futures on Saturday night. LeCounte also talked a little about where things went wrong for the Georgia defense against LSU, and about Kirby Smart’s expectations for his defensive backs.
There are a ton of juniors and redshirt sophomores on this team who’ll soon confront the decision of whether to return to Athens or make a run at the NFL. LeCounte’s may be among the most important. He emerged as a leader on the Red and Black defense in 2019, growing into the expectations coaches have had for him since he signed as one of the “Savages” in Smart’s 2017 class.
