ATHENS — The future of Georgia redshirt freshman quarterback D’Wan Mathis is in doubt, with a 247Sports report projecting him to leave the team.

The Mathis family told DawgNation it is declining to confirm the report that D’Wan is leaving the team, at the time of this publication.

Mathis did not travel with the team for the first time this season, the Bulldogs playing at South Carolina at 7:30 p.m. (TV: SEC Network).

DawgNation has learned that other schools have shown interest in Mathis as a quarterback, including Michigan State.

There has been growing speculation that Mathis is unhappy with his inability to contribute for No. 9-ranked Georgia and has considered leaving the program for another opportunity.
