1. Georgia Tech defensive tackle Jabari Hunt-Days’ efforts to regain his academic eligibility were given an encouraging report by coach Paul Johnson. Hunt-Days lost his eligibility last May after falling behind the NCAA’s standard for progress towards degree completion.
“I think he’ll be O.K.,” Johnson said following Wednesday’s spring-practice session, the 14th of 15. “We’ll see. We’ll know at the end of the semester.”
NCAA rules mandate that an athlete must complete 60 percent of the course requirements in his or her degree program going into the fourth year of enrollment (where Hunt-Days was a year ago) and then 80 percent going into the fifth year.
