The Arik Gilbert saga has added another strange, sad chapter as it was reported Saturday that Gilbert, now with the Georgia Bulldogs, is away from the program for “personal reasons.”
“Arik is dealing with some personal issues,” Kirby Smart said after Georgia’s scrimmage on Saturday. “We love him... Our thoughts and prayers are with him now and we hope to get him back soon.”
This is the third instance Gilbert’s had in less than a year. In December, while at LSU, he entered the transfer portal citing homesickness. He then transferred to Florida on January 31 but put his name back in the portal about a month later.
