Georgia offensive lineman Xavier Truss spoke about the effect the loss of late teammate Devin Willock has had as the Bulldogs prepare for the 2023 season without one of their brothers.
“Yeah, I mean obviously you know that was something that was incredibly hard, not just for myself obviously, but on the entire line, and the entire team. That’s a part of my life that I’ll always embrace, the relationship I have with all my teammates. It’s still just as much a pain in my heart, but I’m trying to look on the bright side. Devin had such great energy that he always brought into the facility, so I feel the best way to honor him is to have that same energy that he always brought, and he always played with.”
Truss says the Dawgs are remembering Willock’s memory every day.
“When we’re watching last year’s film, he’s always on there; you always see that big body running around and everything. I’m not sure who drew it, but there’s a hand-drawn portrait of Devin that sits right above the door, so you see it every time you walk in. His seat up front stays empty, so it always feels like he’s there with us, and you know he’s there.”
