Tight end signee was surprised to learn Shane Beamer was leaving Georgia

Luke Ford received a phone call from Shane Beamer with some unexpected news.

After changing his initial plan to sign his national letter-of-intent in December, Ford learned that the integral reason in landing his pledge to Georgia was gone. The four-star product out of Illinois originally planned to sign with a college program in February. Having bought into Beamer's philosophy and coaching style, he decided to go ahead and sign with Georgia.

Without warning, however, Ford’s plans for playing under the young position coach were dashed.

“Yea,” Ford responded in a text message after he was asked if the move was unexpected.
