Gain a quarterback, lose a quarterback.
Confirming yesterday’s report, Georgia has now officially announced signal caller Jacob Park‘s departure from Athens. Though it sounds like the announcement didn’t come without a fight - or at least a stern discussion.
“We’ve had conversations during which we discussed all the viewpoints,” head coach Mark Richt said in a statement. “In the end, he feels like the opportunity for significant playing time would be better at another school. I can understand his decision, and we¹ll support him in finding a good fit at another institution.”
“I want to thank Coach Richt and Georgia for the experience I’ve had in Athens”, added Park. “I’m grateful for the opportunity but now look forward to what’s next in my college career.”
A native of Goose Creek, Ga., Park was a four-star recruit that spent only one season in Athens in which he contributed mostly on the scout team.
