Add another wide receiver’s name to the “out” list for the South Carolina game.
Georgia coach Mark Richt said that senior Jonathan Rumph will not play against the Gamecocks due to a hamstring injury.
“He won’t play,” Richt said.
The 6-foot-5, 218-pound Rumph did not play in the opener and played in only seven games last season due mainly to hamstring issues. The Cayce, S.C., native has just seven career catches for 121 yards since coming to Georgia from Holmes (Miss.) Community College in January of 2013.
The Bulldogs already know they’re going to be without junior receivers Malcolm Mitchell (knee) and Justin Scott-Wesley (ankle) for the South Carolina game due to injuries.
Georgia still has leading receivers Micheal Bennett and Chris Conley ready to go with Reggie Davis and Blake Tibbs waiting in the wings. Richt said walkons Kenneth Towns, Michael Erdman and Charlie Hegedus and freshman Shakenneth Williams will have to be ready to step up.
“It’s a little shaky right now,” Richt said of the Bulldogs’ depth at receiver. “We better keep recruiting, I can tell you that.”
