In addition to the news of Mays’ transfer decision, it was reported that his father, Kevin Mays, is suing the University of Georgia Athletics Department and a manufacturer of a folding chair, after part of his pinky finger had to be amputated.

Per Radi Nabulsi of UGASports.com, Kevin Mays’ right pinky finger was partially amputated because a folding chair was wedged between a column. According to the report, his severed finger “shot across the floor.”

It was not mentioned whether or not Mays’ decision to leave the program was based on the incident that occurred with his father.

Georgia also lost offensive line coach Sam Pittman, who took the head coaching job at Arkansas.
