ATLANTA | A Georgia offensive lineman’s Bulldog career is set to be over before he played a down.
Redshirt freshman Mirko Jurkovic is seeking to be medically disqualified, coach Kirby Smart confirmed on Monday evening.
“Right now, it’s not finalized yet,” Smart said before a donor reception at the Intercontinental Buckhead Hotel. “Mirko is sending in (paperwork) for a medical. We have not received that back yet. We’re still in the process.”
The 6-foot-5, 275-pound Jurkovic was sidelined in 2015 after undergoing surgery for a dislocated knee cap and then had a second surgery for a dislocated knee cap this spring.
