Talented Georgia freshman TE Luke Ford (Carterville, IL) isn’t practicing with the team ahead of the Sugar Bowl, per a report from The Athletic’s Seth Emerson.
Emerson reports that Ford was back home in Illinois as UGA began its bowl prep for Texas. The early indications are that Ford may leave the team.
Ford signed early with Georgia in the class of 2018. Shane Beamer was the TEs coach, and he left for Oklahoma the following month, as Beamer was one of the main reasons Ford signed with the Bulldogs.
Ford is the former No. 1 overall prospect in the state of Illinois for the class of 2018, including being ranked as the nation’s No. 51 overall prospect, according to 247Sports Composite Rankings. He caught one pass in 10 games this season.
This is certainly a situation to keep an eye on.
Georgia freshman TE Luke Ford, who had one catch in 10 games this season, was back home in Illinois this weekend while the Bulldogs began bowl practice. Indications were he had decided to leave UGA, though no confirmation from Ford or the team yet, and minds can always change.

Yes, it’s a fluid situation. We’ll see, but he’s not with the team right now. https://t.co/umliuRaQ1c
