Georgia senior snapper Trent Frix has missed practice this week with a hamstring injury.
“We think he’s going to be fine,” second-year Bulldogs coach Kirby Smart said in a news conference following Tuesday’s two-hour workout. “He’s down right now, but we hope we get him back.”
The 6-foot, 215-pound Frix played at Calhoun High School and attended the Air Force Academy prep school before transferring to Georgia, where he played in six games as a freshman in 2013. He redshirted in 2014, played in 10 games two years ago and competed in 12 games last year, snapping on punts and placement kicks.
Frix, who was awarded a scholarship before last season, is backed up by junior fullback Nick Moore.
“Nick Moore does a good job,” Smart said. “He snapped all spring and has done a good job the last two days.”
