At the beginning of Georgia’s 37-10 loss to LSU, wide receiver Lawrence Cager was often seen by himself on one the makeshift training tables on the Georgia sideline. This is because Cager recently had ankle surgery and had his entire leg in a cast. He also had a scooter to help him wheel around when he needed to move.

Over the course of the loss though, Cager was joined by another Georgia receiver, as Dominick Blaylock joined Cager on the elevated platform in the second half. Blaylock exited the game in the first with a knee injury that ended up being a torn ACL.

Cager hasn’t suffered the same injury as Blaylock, who is expected to be and ready to go for the start of fall camp, but he is well versed in recovering and battling through injuries. He was hampered all season by shoulder and rib injuries, yet still found a way to be a very productive player for the Bulldogs when called upon.

And Cager shared some of the things he told Blaylock following the SEC championship game loss.

“Just keep his head up. If he had any questions, that he could call me,” Cager said. “I know a little something about injuries.”

Cager finished second on the team in receptions and receiving yards with 33 and 476 respectively. Blaylock was second in touchdowns catches and first in yards per catch.

And even though Cager will be departing the Georgia program as he prepares for the NFL, he made it known that his relationship with Blaylock will extend long past the 2019 season.

“He can call me at any time of the day,” Cager said. “He’s my brother for life and I’m always here for him.”

Cager also spoke on a number of other topics as well. He admitted that he was looking forward to playing in the SEC championship game, but that, “life happens.” Cager injured his ankle during the Wednesday of the Georgia Tech, which effectively ended his season.

He was also asked to reflect back on his one season at Georgia, which included a seven-catch, 132-yard performance against Florida that will not be forgotten.

“Honestly, I loved every minute of it,” Cager said. “The fans, the atmosphere, my teammates, my coaches. It was a once in a lifetime opportunity. I wish had more years to be here but man it was great to be here for the one year I was here.”

He arrived as graduate transfer this past summer from Miami and certainly made the most of his one season in Athens.
