UGA offensive lineman transferring

Athens — Georgia offensive lineman Chris Little, who switched from Notre Dame to the Bulldogs on signing day in 2007, is on the move again. The redshirt freshman from Twiggs County is transferring from Georgia.

“He just felt like it was time to move on,” Bulldogs coach Mark Richt said. “it wasn’t working out as well as he thought it would, and he wanted to move in a different direction.”

The 6-foot-6, 330-pound Little has been released from his scholarship and has permission from Richt “to go anywhere he chooses.”

Little struggled with injuries since arriving on campus. He showed up with a bad wrist that required surgery, then had a foot operated on before the start of this season.

Two years ago, Little was rated as the No. 1 offensive lineman in Georgia by Rivals.com. He committed to Florida State, then switched to Notre Dame, then ended up switching again to Georgia on signing day. Earlier that day the Bulldogs lost Antwane Greenlee to Florida State. Greenlee is starting for the Seminoles.
