The news hit Travis Smith Jr. hard.
The Rivals250 receiver and priority Georgia target found out about Bryan McClendon's departure for the NFL on Saturday. Georgia's receivers coach, a fellow Atlantan with whom Smith had built a close bond, is taking the same position with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
"BMac, man, that hit home for me. Straight to the heart, because me and BMac had a great relationship. It’s hard to see him go," Smith said.
So where does McClendon's departure leave Georgia moving forward?
