Georgia Bulldogs Quarterback D’Wan Mathis has been cleared to play. According to UGASports, UGA head coach Kirby Smart announced the good news yesterday to an audience of alumni in Charlotte.
Mathis, a four star recruit in the class of 2019, committed to UGA over Ohio State back in 2018. Mathis is a redshirt freshman, who was able to play in the 2019 G-Day game last season, but underwent surgery on a brain cyst last May.
Mathis is now expected to practice this spring and will battle Wake Forest transfer Jamie Newman, last season’s back-up Stetson Bennett and 2020 four-star recruit Carson Beck for the starting quarterback role.
