"While we are very disappointed for Rico from a football standpoint, we feel extremely fortunate that he is healthy and that we were able to diagnose his condition and protect him from a possible catastrophic injury," said Ron Courson, Senior Associate Athletic Director for Sports Medicine. "Although he cannot continue his football career, he should be able to have a normal life."

"I'm thankful we caught this condition when we did," said UGA head coach Mark Richt. "Now we can help Rico transition to life after football. He will stay on scholarship through his graduation and we will assist him in finding employment through the P.O. (Paul Oliver) Network"
