Two came along the usual way — Jon and David. But two came in a very special way. “We were in Sunday School class one day talking about the ills of society,” said Richt. “We explored questions like ‘who’s in charge of taking care of the poor and the elderly.’ We felt like the church should do its share.” Also, Katharyn’s brother and sister-in-law had previously adopted children from the Ukraine. Months later, Katharyn was in the Ukraine, a former republic of the Soviet Union, arranging the adoption of two children, classmates in the same orphanage. She spent 31 days there while Mark spent about eight days. When they returned in July, 1999, they had Zack and Anya, in tow. “They have been a special blessing to all our family,” said Katharyn.

And we knew least avoided the false start penalties and lineup juggling that we could do it," Andrews said, before adding: Friend has had to employ. "We've still got a lot of work to do and a long way to go." Andrews was a curious choice when the Bulldogs pegged him as the heir apparent to Ben Jones, now a starting guard for the Houston Texans. Andrews was a three-star recruit out of the Wesleyan School in Norcross, and is listed at 6-foot-2 and 295 pounds. Jones, by comparison, is 6-3 and 303. But the coaches felt confident in Andrews, who goes by "Boss" around the team. "There was never any doubt in my mind that Boss could play in this league. Or anybody else in our room's mind," Friend said. "He's very intelligent. He's been a good leader. He was able to kind of work under Ben and kind of see how that role needs to be, and he's kind of taken it on. He's doing a great job." "I think I've proved some people wrong," Andrews said this week. "But it's not about that. I'd rather see the team do good than me do good. Because at the end those are gonna be the memories that stick with you the longest time." Nose tackle John Jenkins has been battling with Andrews since last spring, the pair matched against each other in drills and team practices. At first, by everyone's account, Andrews struggled, but it may have prepared him well for the rigors of SEC play. Jenkins laughs when asked about Andrews' size. "I didn't know the height requirement of being the center," Jenkins said. "I thought you had to be low to gravity and be able to snap the ball. Man I don't know. David Andrews is showing that he's capable of playing at this level." As for the rest of the line, well that remains a work in progress.

Atlanta Journal-Constitution By Ryan Black Published on Tuesday, September 25, 2012

Chris Burnette was 99 percent certain his girlfriend would accept his marriage proposal Sunday. That wasn’t quite good enough for Georgia offensive line coach Will Friend. He needed 1 percent more certainty from his right guard. “He was like, ‘Well, you better make sure she is going to say yes before you invite all of these people,’” Burnette said. Not to worry. Arielle Haynes said “yes” when Burnette popped the question at Athens Church, where Burnette and Haynes are regular attendees. Luckily, the weekly Sunday service begins at noon, which meant many of Burnette’s teammates who go to earlier services at other churches could make it. News spread quickly, especially after video of the event was posted online. When asked what made him make the video, Burnette couldn’t explain it. “I just knew that I wanted it to have something that was Christ-centered, because he has been at the center of our relationship from the get-go,” he said. “And I wanted to do something public, because that’s how she is.

Athens Banner-Herald By Marc Weiszer Published on Tuesday, November 13, 2012

Chris Conley had a good excuse for missing a meeting of the NCAA Division I Student-Athlete Advisory Committee over the weekend in Indianapolis. He was busy catching a touchdown pass against Auburn and making his first career start. Conley has a larger role for the Georgia offense as the top slot receiver now that Marlon Brown and Michael Bennett are lost with torn ACLs, but the sophomore already had plenty on his plate. Not only does he represent the Southeastern Conference on that 31-person NCAA advisory committee, but he’s the only player on the 24-person NCAA Football Issues Committee, which is designed to recommend policies and procedures in the best interest of student-athletes like the new kickoff and loss-of-helmet rules that took effect this season. “He always has been very impressive and is someone that certainly exemplifies everything that a University of Georgia politics is a possibility for him one day. student-athlete would like to become,” said Georgia athletic “I could see him being a president or CEO,” receiver director Greg McGarity, also is in his first year on the football Malcolm Mitchell said. issues committee. “By going to practice and passing these Conley said it’s more likely he’d get into teaching or coach- young kids in the hallway, you learn to know who they are ing.

116 • Georgia Bulldogs Feature Files Q&A with DL John Jenkins

Athens Banner-Herald By Daniel Kramer Published on Wednesday, August 22, 2012

What was the toughest part of your transition last year from community college to the Southeastern Conference? The toughest part was the speed of the game, man. Also, how precise everybody’s technique was. In junior college, they tried to catch up on speed but didn’t focus as much on technique. Here, everything is focused on technique. You have to think about it — people have been here since their freshmen year and some of them were even redshirted. They all have a few years under their belt and I just came in and tried to adjust to everything.

Georgia Bulldogs • 117 Feature Files Jones motivated by brother’s murder

ESPN.com By Mark Schlabach Published on Wednesday, September 26, 2012

Georgia linebacker Jarvis Jones remembers his last con- versation with his older brother. In the early-morning hours of Jan. 9, 2005, Jones and his older brother, Darcell Kitchens, were standing down the street from their mother’s home in tiny Richland, Ga. It was Kitchens’ 19th birthday. A car stopped in the road, and a friend asked Kitchens if he wanted to go celebrate at a bar. “Do you want me to stay with you or go?” Kitchens asked his younger brother. “I told him it was his birthday and that he needed to go have fun,” Jones said. “I told him I’d see him in the morning.” Before Jarvis Jones became a terror on the field, he had to control his emotions off it. Jones would never see his brother again. Less than an hour later, Kitchens was shot and killed during an argument outside of a bar. According to Georgia Supreme Court records, Nakiedrian Garrett accused Kitchens of break- ing into his grandmother’s home. Kitchens denied doing it and told Garrett they needed to take their argument outside. Garrett and another man beat Kitchens in the parking lot, and then Garrett pulled out a gun. According to court records, Garrett fired twice in quick succession, striking Kitchens in his chest and back. Garrett told police he only pulled out a gun to scare Kitchens. After Kitchens was shot in the parking lot, he managed to walk back into the bar, where he collapsed on the floor and died. Garrett was convicted of felony murder and aggravated assault in October 2005 and is serving a life sentence at Autry with it. It took a toll on me. It killed me inside.

124 • Georgia Bulldogs Feature Files Rambo emulates NFL star

Athens Banner-Herald By Daniel Kramer Published on Thursday, November 8, 2012

Bacarri Rambo has a knack for swarming to the ball. So does his favorite player, safety Ed Reed. Teammates and coaches have said that Rambo reminds them most of Reed when asked to compare the Georgia safety to an NFL player. And that’s without the eight-time Pro Bowler’s name even mentioned in the question. It shouldn’t come as much of a surprise, though. Rambo said that he’s followed Reed’s career since he was a child and tries to emulate the future Hall-of-Famer every Saturday. “I watch his highlight film a lot to see how he does things,” Rambo said. “I feel like he’s more of a ball hawk and that’s what I try to suit myself as. If it comes down to making a big hit, he’s going to make the big hit. I try to do that, too, but now I’d rather just catch interceptions.” And he’s done that. Last year, Rambo led the Southeastern Conference with eight interceptions en route to being named an Associated Press All-American. With three more this sea- son, he could surpass former Bulldogs star Jake Scott to stand alone as Georgia’s all-time interception leader. “It would mean a lot, just to have my name No. 1 on the list,” Rambo said. “There have been so many great players careers, Rambo (4.8) actually averages more than one tackle (from Georgia) that will go into the NFL Hall of Fame. To more per game than Reed (3.8). have more interceptions than those guys will be a tremendous Rambo notes his numbers wouldn’t be as impressive with- feeling.

That’s all you want — a hard-hitting safety that can do that.” Reed is arguably the hardest-hitting safety in the NFL, as evidenced to his 583 career tackles, of which 11 were forced fumbles. Rambo doesn’t have the fumble stats that Reed does — only four at Georgia — but coaches acknowledge that he’s still one of the most rugged tacklers on the team.

Athens Banner-Herald By Roger Clarkson Published on Thursday, November 22, 2012

Inside linebacker Christian Robinson wants to become a coach when his playing career ends, and his time at Georgia has prepared him well. This season, he has learned more about making the most of limited opportunities rather than basking in the glory of the highlight reels, which will be valuable experience when he has to explain to his own players how everybody on a team has a role to fill. “It’s been a get in where you fit in-type thing,” Robinson said. “Ever since I’ve been here, the coaches have been very good about putting me in where they think I can be successful and where I can help. It might not always show up in stats. It might show up in how well we line up and play from there. Some of my best games, I didn’t even have a tackle. It’s whether I was covering somebody and allowed Jarvis (Jones) to make a sack or somebody else to make a play. Making plays is all relative. I think I’ve made a lot of plays that people will never know about.” Robinson made four starts and had 47 total tackles in 2011 here for personal stats, I’d probably be unsatisfied.

Dawgs 247 By Gentry Estes Published on Thursday, November 22, 2012

The way Georgia defensive end Garrison Smith looks at it, he had a lot to be thankful for this past Thanksgiving. Most notably, there is the fact he’s still here. Smith tells the story with full awareness of what might have happened, accepting full blame for the danger. More than once, he chose to drive back to campus from his home near Atlanta and “not listening to my parents and my grand- parents," he chose to leave around 1 a.m., heading back on Highway 138 through Conyers to Athens. “I didn’t want to be in any traffic on the highway,” Smith said, “and I fell asleep a couple of times and almost drove off the road. Luckily, I always caught myself before I veered off the side of the road and hit a tree or something. … “That’s why I’m just so humble and thankful. Certain situ- ations I’ve been in, just like falling asleep while driving, I’m just happy to be here and thankful I’m still alive.” So all in all, 2012 hasn’t been a bad year at all for Smith. Not expected to necessarily be a difference-maker for Geor- gia’s team this season, he certainly has been to this point. With Abry Jones’ ankle injury taking him out for the major- ity of the regular season, Smith’ role has increased through the 2012 season. It likely will increase even more in 2013. Smith has proven to be a remarkably productive player for Georgia. With 44 tackles (in only five starts), Smith leads all other Bulldogs defensive linemen. “He really has gotten better, and I think he’s showing up “He’s generally around the ball,” defensive coordinator on field,” Garner said. “I think he’s gotten respect of oppo- Todd Grantham said. “He’s a smart guy, always in the right nents.

But as of now, he’d project more as an end.

On a Georgia defense with two returning All-Americans, a possible early round NFL draft pick at nose guard and a dy- namic two-way player poised to show his talent at cornerback, safety Shawn Williams doesn’t get talked about very much. “He will,” said Malcolm Mitchell, the talented sophomore cornerback-receiver. “Guarantee you.
