Georgia safety Richard LeCounte tweeted a post Saturday that indicates his plan is to play for the Bulldogs next season.

All LeCounte wrote was, “Year 4 Let’s Do It !!” but that comment has been widely interpreted as LeCounte’s way of announcing that he will return for his senior season.

LeCounte capped the 2019 season with two interceptions in Georgia’s 26-14 victory against Baylor in the Sugar Bowl on Wednesday night. The second of the two came with 1:39 to play in the game. Georgia’s offense took over and quarterback Jake Fromm took a knee on three consecutive plays to end the game.

LeCounte led Georgia in interceptions this season, with four.
