Xzavier McLeod, Kirby Smart share more details about defensive lineman’s departure
Summary
-
Nose tackle Xzavier McLeod has left Georgia and stepped away from football after being absent from the team since the second practice of fall camp.
-
McLeod's departure removes a projected key contributor who started six games in 2025 and leaves Jordan Hall, Nnamdi Ogboko, Valdin Sone and Nasir Johnson as the primary nose-tackle options.
-
Kirby Smart believes Georgia has unusually strong defensive-line depth but acknowledged the group may rely on rotation because it lacks one clearly dominant player.
