Report: Georgia captain suffers injuries following motorcycle accident after Kentucky win
Georgia defensive back Richard LeCounte III was involved in a traffic accident on Saturday evening following the Bulldogs’ return from their game in Lexington against Kentucky, according to multiple reports.
The news was first reported by Rivals.com’s Radi Nabulsi, while DawgNation’s Mike Griffith reports that LeCounte sustained a concussion, according to individuals close to the senior, as well as a bruise to one of his ribs as a result of the accident.
247Sports is reporting that LeCounte was driving a motorcycle and was involved in an accident with another car. He is in stable condition, but it’s more serious than being dinged up.
A SEC First Team preseason selection, LeCounte has 26 tackles in 5 games this season, including a career-best 13 during Saturday’s win against the Wildcats. He has also recorded 3 interceptions.
Georgia travels to Jacksonville to take on Florida on Nov. 7.
Awful situation. Thank God he’s alright. Forget football in a situation like this.
Hope he’s ok and recovers fast, scary situation.
I’m glad he was not hurt worse. But hey, you better believe I’m thinking football. DAMMIT UGA CANNOT CATCH A BREAK!!!! I want him healthy and playing!!! UGA players seem like magnets for stupid bull$hit injuries!
Either way. Instead of practicing his a$$ off to beat Florida. He is probably going to be laid up in a hospital bed and then out of practice! Who knows if he will play?
The news just keeps getting better and better for Florida fans. Truth is they are rooting for Stetson Bennett to hold the job. THAT IS SUCH BS!!!! 2 5 STAR QBS ON THE BENCH WHILE A WALK ON MIDGET RUNS THE DAWGS INTO THE GROUND!!!! Even if Smart made a change now. I’m not sure how they would play being their very first SEC action! But I’d be willing to bet money that they would play better than Stetson Bennett has played these last two games!!! THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO EXCUSE FOR KIRBY KEEPING JT DANIELS AND CARSON BECK ON THE BENCH TO ALLOW STETSON BENNETT TO START. NO EXCUSE WHATSOEVER!!!!! HOW MANY OF YOU BELIEVE THAT NICK SABAN WOULD BE DOING THAT? These UGA coaches look like they are trying to GIVE THE EAST AWAY!!!
PS. But if Stetson Bennett beats Florida. Then Dan Mullen should RETIRE!!!! Simple as that my friends. He should just OPT OUT!!!!
King Negan
I wish you would wise up and do everyone a favor and opt out!
Carson Beck is a 4 star. Daniels is the only 5 star QB you have. Once again you seem to know little about the players you talk about.
And now you’re second guessing Mighty Kirby, too funny
Negan thinks everyone on the team is a 5*.
LOL
Scary stuff for kid and his family. Hope he gets well soon.
He’s a great player. Hope he’s able to recover quickly enough to play next week.
He is a great kid and a great leader on the team. Hope and pray he has a speedy recovery. It could have been worse. Thank the Lord it wasn’t.
Hope he is able to make a full and fast recovery.
What is it with football players and scooters/motorcycles. We always seemed to have incidents with players and scooter accidents on campus at UF.
Kids feel invincible.
Yep, 10 feet tall and bulletproof.
Unfortunately you wish it was just plain dumbness, but that’s not true cause then all the accidents would happen to Tennessee players. Why the hell do all of these athletes always get messed up on scooter accidents or this sort of thing?
This is so F’d up. I mean it seemed the game was barely over, the sports talk programs had barely begun discussing the day’s games and then they’re reporting this accident. Just crazy.
