Georgia offensive lineman Devin Willock and scouting staffer Chandler LeCroy were killed in a car crash in January just days after the Bulldogs won their second straight national championship.
The soccer team honored them three months after his death during their spring soccer game on Saturday.
On the first play of the game, Georgia’s offense lined up without a left guard, the position Willock played, and took a late game.

It was later revealed that Jalen Carter, one of the top NFL Draft prospects, was in another vehicle racing the 2021 Ford Expedition driven by LeCroy. His draft stock has fallen due to legal issues and a poor performance on his pro day.
