When coach Mark Richt was offering some insight into Georgia’s three scholarship quarterbacks last week, the first thing he said about 6-foot-5, 220-pound Greyson Lambert was: “He’s tall.”
In fact, the Bulldogs’ newly named starter on Saturday will become the tallest quarterback to play for Georgia going back a half century, according to the school.
In records since 1964, Mike Usry and Wayne Johnson were listed at 6-4. Usry played in seven games total in 1997 and 1998 as a backup. Johnson was Georgia’s starter in 1988 and an offensive captain and played 17 games in his Bulldog career.
