Safety Pugh to Transfer

Georgia safety Makiri Pugh has decided to transfer, according to a release from the school Wednesday.

Pugh redshirted his first season in Athens in 2008 and saw minimal playing time in 2009, mostly on special teams. He was part of a crowded field at safety and appeared to be behind Bacarri Rambo, Nick Williams, Jakar Hamilton and Quintin Banks on the depth chart at the position.

“We are appreciative of Makiri’s contributions during his two years at Georgia,” head coach Mark Richt said. “We understand and support his decision to transfer and wish him great success the remainder of his career.”
