Georgia offensive lineman Kelton Smith Jr. is retiring from football due to an undisclosed medical condition, coach Kirby Smart announced Tuesday.

"This is never an easy transition for a player, and we vow to stick with Kelton during this period and provide him the support he needs," Smart said. "It is tough losing a person of Kelton's character, but we look forward to him staying a part of our program."

Smith redshirted last season after being a 4-star recruit in the 2023 class.
