Parker McLeod is on the move again.

According to Marc Weiszer of the Athens-Banner Herald, McLeod has left the Georgia program. The former Alabama and Western Kentucky quarterback walked on to Georgia’s team following the arrival of head coach Kirby Smart. Smart had recruited McLeod for the Tide back in 2013.

While McLeod was never going to steal any reps from sophomore Jacob Eason or true freshman Jake Fromm this spring, his departure compounds the Bulldogs’ depth issues under center heading into the spring. With Greyson Lambert’s eligibility extinguished and the graduate transfer of Brice Ramsey, UGA currently has only walk-on Sam Vaughn behind Eason and Fromm.

The team’s issues under center are compounded by the uncertainty on the offensive line heading into the spring. Georgia did sign six promising offensive line prospects in its 2017 recruiting class, but only one of those players has arrived on campus for spring football. Should an unfortunate injury or two be sustained by either of Georgia’s quarterbacks this fall, the team could be a snap away from being forced to get creative under center.

Not exactly an ideal scenario with so much hype surrounding the Georgia program in 2017.
