Heart and Soul of Defense

I can assume most Dawgs fans know this will be about, none other than Rennie Curran. Curran coming out of Brookwood H.S., in Snellville, GA, was a highly sought after recruit ranked #5 at his position nationally and the #11 prospect n nationally. Curran now just two seasons later is on the watch list for the Lott Trophy, Chuck Bednarik Award, Butkus Award and Bronco Nagurski Trophy, not to shabby for a junior. Curran is considered small for position at 5'11" 225lbs, but so was Zach Thomas and Randall Godfrey and we know how those stories played out. Curran had 113 tackles last year and is on pace this year to have right around 150. Curran is a great leader for the Georgia locker room and knows how to get the defense up for every game. He does not care about his personal statistics but only about the defense as whole. He knows that we gave up to many yards and extremely to many points in some of our contests last year, and he feels that we will able to shutdown many of the opposing offenses this year.

I will be reviewing one of the UGA players every week.
