ATHENS — One of Georgia’s oldest defensive linemen is no longer on the roster, as Georgia defensive lineman Xzavier McLeod is no longer with the team.

McLeod was not listed on the team roster on Georgiadogs.com.

According to a report from Dawgs247, McLeod had a social media post last week indicating that he was “done with football” and “retired.”
