Samuel moves back to the tailback position for Georgia

By Anthony Caruso III

University of Georgia Mark Richt has moved Richard Samuel back to the tailback position.

Samuel was a tailback during his freshman and sophomore years. But then was moved to linebacker in 2009 and injuries caused Samuel to redshirt the 2010 season.

"After discussions with Richard, his family, and our coaches I'm excited that Richard wants to make the move," said Richt. "He's one of our
fastest and most powerful players, is very mature, has a strong character and is a man we can count on. I'm proud of him for always putting the team first and I look forward to seeing what he can do."

Samuel was a tailback for the Bulldogs in 2008 and 2009. He played 22 games, including six starts in 2009. He also had 528 yards on 114 carries and three touchdowns.
