Following the recent injury to defensive lineman Jordan Hall, the Georgia Bulldogs have received more bad news regarding the status of one contributor in that position group. Xzavier McLeod, who joined the Bulldogs this year from South Carolina, is sidelined with an abdominal strain and is expected to miss the Week 1 matchup with Clemson, first reported by 247Sports. McLeod is a former four-star prospect in the class of 2023 from Camden, South Carolina. McLeod is listed at 6 feet, 4 inches and 313 pounds. He was the second highest rated recruit in South Carolina in the 2023 cycle.
