Thinking back to this time a year ago, Monty Rice recalled his understanding of the Georgia defense.

He was an early enrollee, who had to “follow his heart,” he said, to end up with Georgia at the last moment. Spring football at the college level was a much different animal than what he was accustomed to.

“Last year at spring practice, I had no idea what I was doing,” Rice said.

With a year of college football under his belt, Rice is ready for a much larger role on Georgia’s defense. He also has a greater understanding of the Georgia defense.
