After two seasons with the Bulldogs, Georgia offensive line coach Matt Luke will step down, per a report from Rivals.
Luke spent the last season as associate head coach along with offensive line duties. The former Ole Miss head coach released this statement today following the story, which includes a Kirby Smart statement.

Luke’s decision appears to be related to family reasons and one cannot blame him for such. At this level of college football, the work rates are outstandingly difficult and time consuming.
The question now remains for the Bulldogs: Who will replace Luke?
Georgia has immense talent among its offensive line, so Smart and staff will have to make an experienced hire to help keep the front formidable to an SEC schedule.
