UGA loses two more recruits to academics including Milner

By
ATHENS - Two more high school football recruits have failed to qualify academically at the University of Georgia and will not be eligible to play for the Bulldogs this season. <br> <br> Martrez Milner of West Hall High and Leonard Pope of Americus High did not meet academic requirements. It&#39;s unclear whether they could be admitted as partial qualifiers, meaning they could practice as freshmen but not play in games. <br> <br> Milner was projected to play tight end or defensive end, and Pope was rated among the nation&#39;s top tight ends. <br> <br> The Bulldogs found out last week that recruit Reshard Dudley, a running back from Marianna, Florida, also had failed to reach minimum NCAA academic requirements. <br> <br> To replace Dudley, Georgia added running back Cedric Haywood from Central Fellowship Christian Academy in Macon. Haywood was given the scholarship Sunday and will enroll in the fall. <br> <br> Haywood, who rushed for 1,579 yards and 22 touchdowns in nine games last season, is expected to be a receiver at Georgia, a position he played for two seasons at Northside High Warner Robins.
