Georgia’s defense has been plagued by injuries this season and it has shown that missing the leadership of veteran players like Richard LeCounte, Julian Rochester and Jordan Davis can take a toll.
On Saturday night against South Carolina, a few younger pups took advantage of the spotlight and excelled when given the chance. One of those players was freshman defensive lineman Jalen Carter, who finished the contest with three tackles, including one for a loss.
Georgia head coach Kirby Smart was impressed with Carter’s performance and said that the Apopka, Florida native continues to improve.
