Georgia football's Malik Herring reaches NFL draft decision

Georgia Bulldogs defensive lineman Malik Herring will be returning to Athens for his senior season. Herring was considering entering into the 2020 NFL Draft.

Herring recorded 26 tackles and a half sack on the season. He announced his decision to return via Twitter:

Herring will help lead an impressive UGA defense in 2020. Herring was a key part of a Georgia defensive front that didn’t allow a rushing touchdown to a running back all season. He joins Richard LeCounte as the latest Dawgs to announce their return to Athens.

UGA’s defensive line loses Tyler Clark and Michael Barnett, but is returning Malik Herring, Jordan Davis, Julian Rochester, Travon Walker, and possibly Devonte Wyatt.
