Was that Ray Drew?

No, Isaiah Crowell. Richt put on a show for him when he visited Georgia that turned out to be an NCAA violation.

The SEC's interpretation was the "missing man" formation was an improper gameday simulation, which is prohibited by NCAA rules.

The event took place on Sunday, Jan. 23, the final day of Crowell’s visit. Richt and his staff arranged for the team’s offensive lineman, receivers, fullback and quarterback to gather during Crowell’s exit meeting in the indoor facility. The current players were dressed in gameday jerseys and looked up to Richt’s office, which overlooked the practice field.

At that point Richt, Crowell and his family left the office and went down to the field. By the time they arrived there, according to the letter, “the team was in an offensive alignment without a running back.” Crowell was then handed a jersey and stood in the vacant running back position.

“Coach Richt reported that the idea was to create a feeling for the PSA (prospective student athlete) that he was needed at the running back position that was left empty by the team,” the letter reads, adding that Richt was aware off the gameday simulation rule, but did not believe it applied in this case.

Crowell was Temporarily Ineligible
