Georgia defensive lineman injured, potentially out for Clemson game
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. He saw action in one game for South Carolina last season, recording one tackle and one interception, before transferring to Georgia in December. McLeod was brought in to provide immediate depth on the defensive line and is expected to immediately factor into the rotation. With his status for the Clemson game in doubt as well as the injuries to Jordan Hall and Warren Brinson, Georgia will have to rely on Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins, Jamaal Jarrett, Gabe Harris and Christen Miller to play heavy snaps against the Tigers.
