About 24 hours after news broke that Tracy Rocker no longer was Georgia’s defensive line coach, Bulldogs coach Kirby Smart has hired Rocker’s replacement from another SEC program.
Ole Miss defensive line coach Tray Scott, whose hiring by Hugh Freeze was announced on January 1, is Georgia’s new defensive line coach.
In a statement announcing Scott’s departure, Freeze said, “We want coaches that are 100 percent committed to winning championships at Ole Miss.”
Scott spent the 2015 and ’16 seasons as the defensive line coach at North Carolina. He had coached under Freeze at Arkansas State and as a graduate assistant with the Rebels.
