The Georgia football program will be presented with the 2015-16 NCAA Sportsmanship award at halftime of Saturday's basketball game against LSU.
The football program received this previously announced award due to its first-response care and support of former Southern wide receiver Devon Gales, who suffered a spinal injury during Georgia's game against the Jaguars in 2015. Gales and his family will be present at Stegeman Coliseum for the presentation.
Georgia stated a "special announcement" will follow the presentation.
Gales was injured in the third quarter of that game between Georgia and Southern. Gales collided with former Georgia place-kicker Marshall Morgan on a kickoff and collapsed to the turf.
