Georgia has hired one of its better defenders from the 2000s to its coaching staff.
Odell Thurman, who competed for the Bulldogs in two separate stints, has accepted a role as a strength and conditioning intern on the coaching staff.
“He’s allowed to do what an intern does,” head coach Kirby Smart said. “We’re glad to have Odell helping out in the weight room, assisting in the roles he’s allowed to.”
While Thurman was known for his hard-hitting and physical style of play, his tenure was rocky. He was initially dismissed from the program in the spring of 2002 and attended Georgia Military College.
