Alumni Update

Bleckley County’s Mims makes quality progress

          Georgia head coach Kirby Smart’s update Tuesday on the progress of Bleckley County grad Amarius Mims was a positive one.

          Mims and Xavier Truss are returning from injuries.

          "Yeah, both guys have been able to take some reps and work,” Smart said. “”Xavier is probably ahead of Mims, which is what we expected, but I was really pleased with Mims. He pushed really hard today and got out there, got some work in.

“And Truss has been out there both days."

There remains no specific public timetable on Mims’ return, which is likely next week’s game against Missouri at the earliest.
