Know Your Bulldogs: "Thomas Swilley" days until kickoff

With only 74 days left until the University of Georgia kicks off the 2016 football season in the Georgia Dome against the University of North Carolina, take a moment to Know Your Bulldogs

The guardian of the No. 74 jersey in the Bulldogs locker room is offensive lineman Thomas Swilley.

***UPDATE*** I have been informed a bit of breaking news, that Swilley will actually be wearing the No. 75 jersey this season, taking it from the graduated Kolton Houston as Swilley wore 75 in High School. However, we will still declare today "Thomas Swilley" days until kickoff, as the '75 days until' has already passed us. So when you see No. 75 on the Sanford Stadium turf this fall, no, Kolton isn't playing his 13th season as a Bulldog, that's just our man Swilley doing high school Swilley things!
