Georgia Football Player Devin Willock, Recruiter Chandler LeCroy Die in Car Crash

Georgia offensive lineman Devin Willock and recruiting staff member Chandler LeCroy were killed in a single-car crash in Athens, Georgia, early Sunday morning, per Mark Schlabach of ESPN.

Two other passengers, a 21-year-old man and a 26-year-old woman, also suffered injuries in the crash.

The university confirmed the news in a statement:

Former Georgia defensive tackle Jordan Davis provided his thoughts on social media:

The accident came around at 2:45 a.m. ET when the vehicle left the road and "struck two power poles and several trees," per Schlabach. LeCroy was identified as the driver and died after being transported to a local hospital. Willock was pronounced dead at the scene.

Georgia is coming off its second straight national championship with a 65-7 win over TCU in Monday's College Football Playoff title game. The team celebrated the accomplishment on Saturday with a parade and ceremony at Sanford Stadium.

Willock, a redshirt sophomore out of Paramus Catholic High School in New Jersey, appeared in all 15 games for the Bulldogs in 2022 while making two starts.
