Chris Mayes wasn't likely to play this year for Georgia because of depth at his nose tackle position. Now it looks like the product of Griffin's Spalding High School won't be coming to Georgia for another couple years.
Mayes isn't likely to qualify academically and will be heading to Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College, 247Sports.com reported this week.
Georgia head coach Mark Richt wouldn't confirm it on Thursday night before a Bulldog Club meeting in Columbus.
"I don't think I can talk about that," Richt said when asked by the Ledger-Enquirer's Kevin Price.
Mississippi Gulf Coast is the same school where John Jenkins is wrapping up his studies this month. Jenkins is due to compete for the starting nose tackle job with sophomore Kwame Geathers. The Bulldogs also have Mike Thornton, a redshirt freshman.
Mayes, listed at 6-foot-5 and 292 pounds, was rated a three-star prospect by Scout.com.

Not a big blow. I think given the depth we actually have now at that spot, letting MGC coach him up and get him bigger, we could get him back in even better condition down the road. Besides MGC seems to know what they are doing when it comes to DT's!
