Georgia running back no longer on the roster

Georgia Bulldogs running back Len’Neth Whitehead is reportedly no longer on Georgia football’s roster. Whitehead, a walk-on, played high school football for Athens Academy in Athens, Georgia.

Whitehead, a former four-star recruit, began his college career with the Tennessee Volunteers. Whitehead missed both the 2020 and 2022 college football seasons with injuries. In 2021, Athens Academy standout had 32 carries for 207 rushing yards and a pair of rushing touchdowns for the Volunteers.

Whitehead did not receive a carry for Georgia in 2023 or during Georgia’s 2024 G-Day game. It is unclear if the 6-foot-2, 220-pound running back was eligible last season at Georgia. Whitehead transferred within the SEC beyond the deadline for being eligible, so he may have had to sit out a season.

Georgia has plenty of depth at running back. The Bulldogs brought in Florida Gators transfer Trevor Etienne this offseason and also signed three running backs in the class of 2024.
