Channing Tindall made one tackle in his college debut last week, playing a tiny part in Georgia’s 45-0 blanking of Austin Peay.
This week, the former Spring Valley standout comes home as the third-ranked Bulldogs (1-0) take on No. 24 South Carolina (1-0) at Williams-Brice Stadium. Kickoff is scheduled for 3:30 p.m.
“I think it’s special anytime you go back home and get to play in front of your hometown and your family,” UGA coach Kirby Smart said Monday. “And that’s a special moment for him.”
Tindall was a four-star linebacker recruit who was named The State’s Defensive Player of the Year in 2017 after recording 190 tackles and nine sacks last fall as the Vikings went 11-2 and made the third round of the Class 5A playoffs.
