Georgia lineman killed in crash hours after title celebration

Georgia offensive lineman Devin Willock and a recruiting staff member were killed early Sunday in a car wreck, the school said, just hours after the Bulldogs celebrated their second consecutive national championship with a parade and ceremony.

Two other members of the football program were injured in the crash, which occurred in Athens, south of the Georgia campus. They were not immediately identified, but the school said both were in stable condition.

ESPN reported that junior offensive lineman Warren McLendon was among the injured. He announced Saturday he was entering the NFL draft.

The single-vehicle wreck occurred at approximately 2:45 a.m..

Willock, 22, 6-foot-7, 335pound redshirt sophomore from New Milford, N.J., was pronounced dead at the scene. The driver of the vehicle, 24-year-old Chandler LeCroy, a recruiting analyst for the Bulldogs, was transported to a hospital, where she died from her injuries.

Police said the wreck was still under investigation and they have not determined what factors may have contributed to the crash.
