Glenn Schumann ‘excited’ to see next wave of Georgia football inside linebackers grow

ATHENS — Glenn Schumann has a lot on his plate this season. He’ll be taking on a bigger role as the co-defensive coordinator this season, partnering with Will Muschamp in those duties.

He also has to replace most of his best players from the inside linebacker room. Nakobe Dean, Quay Walker and Channing Tindall were the three most productive players in the group last season and are all now off to the NFL.

The Bulldogs have plenty of options and promise at the position, thanks to Schumann’s dogged recruiting efforts. Based on spring practice, sophomore Jamon Dumas-Johnson has a leg up on the competition at the moment as he’s poised to fill the shoes of the many great Georgia linebackers before him.

“I think he’s challenged himself,” Schumann said of Dumas-Johnson. “He knows in the summer you attack strength and conditioning to be able to say, hey I might have an increased role this year. What do I have to do in terms of my strength and conditioning to do whatever role is asked of me? He loves football. He practices really hard. He’s an instinctive, physical player, but (we) need to continue to see him grow.”
