What Brenton Cox's potential exit does and doesn't mean for Georgia outside linebacker room
ATHENS — Even before Brenton Cox put his name in the transfer portal, Georgia players and coaches made it very clear with how they felt about the outside linebacker room. It had some really strong depth, with a number of highly touted prospects. But other than two newcomers in Jermaine Johnson and Nolan Smith, the

Kind of amazing. Shows how deep we are.
Go, Dawgs!
Got to respect your teammates and coaches or you will find yourself trying to find a spot with the Barn.
Cox needs to man up , correct whatever problems he has and deal with them. It’s all on him
As disappointing as it is to see one of our players depart, it's refreshing to be at a place where these types of losses can be so readily absorbed. It's a testament to how far the Dawgs have come in recruiting the last 3 years.
No one knows what really happen or the situation that got him dismissed from the team. But if competition is the reason this young man is leaving the team, then he needs to toughen up mentally and fight for a starting position. Let go of some of that pride. Life will be rough if he thinks he's entitled to anytihing. Once again though, no one knows the situation or what really happen for him to leave. I just know he is very talented, The sky is the limit if he every decide to focus on improving his skills. Go Dawgs!
Looks like the other LBs will get more reps ! We will have better chemistry in the locker room & on the practice feild this year !!!
Cox's dismissal wasn't mutual or because of competition ! It all on him ! Sad but true. It's best for it to happen now than later. Go Dawgs
Kirby is tired of messing around with players who don't abide by rules,laws,who are lazy & self centered ! If you have these traits don't commit to the G !!! He wants better for UGA & I'm all in with him.
Best of luck to Cox. I hope he will learn from this experience and get better as a person and a player.
Also, I hope he doesn't wind up at one of those another third chance programs that would allow him to do the same things while covering them up just to keep him eligible. Cox obviously needs discipline and letting him get away with it is not the way to teach it.
Sounds like he was in a struggle for 2nd string.
good article. I hate that Cox left, but he had a lot to prove this year. hopefully the rest of the OLBs will step up and shine. .
