Football recruit Moody dropped after school tiff

By on March 17, 2009

Georgia commit Dexter Moody has been released from his national letter of intent, allegedly for an argument and subsequent suspension at his Twin City high school.

“I had a little bit of trouble happen on Tuesday,” Moody told Brett Jensen of TotalUGA.com. “I got into an argument with my teacher … [and the principal] suspended me.”

Moody, a 6-foot-2, 205-pound outside linebacker, was one of 20 high school students to become a part of Georgia’s 2009 class in February.

According to an e-mail from Associate Athletic Director for Sports Communication Claude Felton: “[Moody] has been released from his national letter of intent by UGA. Moody submits it to the NLI. As such from our end, he is now once again considered a ‘recruitable athlete’ and we are not permitted to comment on him.”

Prior to committing to Georgia, Moody had received offers from South Carolina and Florida.
