Maurice Smith thanks Alabama, Nick Saban following first Georgia practice
With Maurice Smith’s long-winded journey to Athens finally over, the senior graduate transfer defensive back participated in his first practice with Georgia Saturday.
Following his first official day in a Bulldog uniform, Smith took to Instagram to thank Alabama and head coach Nick Saban for the last three years and announced why he wanted to wear the No. 2 jersey for Georgia (it stands for a second chance):
Whatever you may think of the waiver exemption handed out to Smith allowing him to transfer within the conference, you have to hand it to him for showing such class and even giving his former head coach some love following a difficult couple of months.
It would appear Georgia landed a wise and experienced player in Smith and it’s already showing off the field.
