Oliver, a graduate of Harrison High School, was Georgia’s fifth-leading tackler this season with 57 and also had three interceptions.

“I’m excited he’s decided to return,” Richt said. “In the final analysis, it was important both to him and his mother that he complete his degree and graduate. Certainly, he’ll be counted on as one of our senior leaders, and I’m sure he’ll respond.”
Oliver led Georgia with nine tackles in last week’s 31-24 win over No. 14 Virginia Tech in the Chick-fil-A Bowl.
On Monday, defensive end Charles Johnson and running back Danny Ware announced they each were skipping
