2013 Georgia State Football
THE YEAR AHEAD
The returning starters at guard are junior TimWynn on the
left side and senior Harrison Clottey at right guard. Another
senior, Cade Yates, is an experienced backup. Redshirt freshman
Garrett Gorringe showed promise in the spring, although he
could also play tackle.
At center, the Panthers return fifth-year senior Michael
Davis, an academic all-district selection last fall. Davis missed
all of the 2010 campaign and most of 2011 with major injuries
but returned to start 10 of 11 games in 2012.
Behind Davis is junior Ronald Martin and promising
redshirt freshman Mark Ruskell, who is recovering from a
spring injury.
Georgia State’s crop of newcomers includes four offensive
linemen in junior college transfer A.J. Kaplan and freshmen
Davis Moore, Brandon Pertile and Daniel Zeigler, any of whom
could put themselves in position to earn playing time.
DEFENSIVE LINE
The Panthers have three returning starters up front in
seniors Terrance Woodard, Theo Agnew and John Kelly.
A stout presence in the middle at 6-4 and 295 pounds,
Woodard was Georgia State’s MVP on defense a year ago, when
he collected 59 tackles, 2.5 tackles for loss, two pass breakups
and a fumble recovery. He enters 2013 as a preseason All-Sun
Belt selection by Phil Steele’s College Football Preview and
College Sports Madness.
Agnew, a 6-4, 280-pound transfer from UMass, began the
season at defensive end but moved inside for most of the year.
He was the team’s second-leading tackler with 60 with a team-
high eight tackles for loss.
The 6-4, 275-pound Delic joins the mix this fall after sitting
out last season and is expected to make an immediate impact.
Adding depth on the interior are sophomore Joe Lockley,
perhaps the strongest player on the team who has showed
promised but been slowed by injuries, and sophomore David
Huey, another promising talent who suffered a season-ending
injury after just two games last fall. Junior Marcus Stetzer made
20 tackles last year in a backup role.
