UGA alumni, others react to death of former All-SEC DE Quentin Moses
The death of former Georgia defensive end Quentin Moses has sent shock around the school and the SEC.
Just 33 years old, Moses died in a house fire Sunday morning along with the wife and 10-year-old daughter of deceased high school teammate Xavier Goddard. An All-SEC selection in 2005, Moses helped bring Georgia to its last SEC Championship with an 11.5-sack 2005 season. Current Georgia head coach Kirby Smart was an assistant coach on the staff that season, and tweeted his condolences Sunday morning.
Very saddened to learn of the tragic death this morning of Quentin Moses. Thoughts and prayers go out to his family in this difficult time.
