Georgia Bulldogs defensive tackle Xzavier McLeod has departed the team, according to multiple reports. The senior left the roster and is no longer listed on the team's official website, georgiadogs.com. Jordan Hill of Dawgs247 reported that McLeod announced on social media last week that he had "retired" and was "done with football."
During the previous season, McLeod played in all 14 games for Georgia, starting six of them. The linebacker, a native of Camden, South Carolina, recorded 17 tackles, six quarterback pressures, and two pass break-ups. Georgia's roster now features young defenders like freshman Valdin Sone, sophomores Elijah Griffin, Nasir Johnson, and junior Nnamde Ogboko, as well as seniors Jordan Hall and Josh Horton.
McLeod's departure puts additional pressure on Coach Tray Scott to develop younger players to contribute significantly to the team's defensive line.
