Devastated over the loss of Devin Willock. We had Devin at NM before he transferred to PC. I’ll never forget his excitement when I told him he’d gotten his first scholarship offer from Howard… Prayers for his family, friends and @GeorgiaFootball… Rest In Peace, Big Dev… 🙏🏻❤️ pic.twitter.com/yO1mChPyZg
