Georgia Bulldogs UGA logoLouisville introduced Todd Grantham as its new defensive coordinator Thursday, while one of Grantham’s former players at Georgia was in a negative light again.
Bulldogs safety Josh Harvey-Clemons, who finished third on the team with 66 tackles this past season despite being suspended for the opener at Clemson and the bowl game against Nebraska, may miss the first three games of the 2014 season as well. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, citing sources, said the rising junior is serving a four-game suspension for a second positive marijuana test.
Harvey-Clemons missed the Clemson game after admitting last spring to campus police that he had been smoking marijuana, and the Gator Bowl would have served as the first in this four-game suspension. Georgia officials have not provided any comment.
There were reports last month that the bowl suspension was due to academics, and Richt did not provide details after the team arrived in Jacksonville.
“I’m only going to talk about the guys who are here,” Richt said. “I’m not going to get into all that stuff.”
