Georgia Bulldogs DB no longer with the team
Georgia Bulldogs senior defensive back David Daniel-Sisavanh is no longer with the team. Sisavanh, who had 29 total tackles and two pass deflections over the past three seasons, was expected to be part of Georgia’s defensive backs rotation. “We wish David good luck during his next step,” said Georgia head coach Kirby Smart in a statement the school released. Daniel-Sisavanh is no longer with the team due to a violation of team rules. Georgia’s defense will miss Daniel-Sisavanh’s experience, but the Bulldogs have not had him in the fold for a while. Daniel-Sisavanh missed Georgia’s spring game due to an undisclosed reason and/or injury. We did not project Daniel-Sisavanh to start in 2024, but we did have him as one of Georgia’s best depth options in the secondary. Kirby Smart may provide more detail on the situation today during SEC media days.
