Georgia football to hire Bryson Allen-Williams as defensive analyst

ATHENS — Kirby Smart is adding to his coaching staff it seems, with Matt Zenitz of 247Sports reporting that Georgia is hiring USC assistant linebackers coach Bryson Allen-Williams.

Georgia does not have an on-field position open at the moment, meaning the move would likely be as an off-field analyst. Georgia did recently lose analyst Blaine Miller, who took an on-field coaching job at Syracuse. Miller did work with the inside linebackers, working under Glenn Schumann. He doubles as Georgia’s defensive coordinator.

Allen-Williams is a Georgia native, as he was a 4-star recruit out of Cedar Grove High School in Ellenwood, Ga. He signed with South Carolina as a member of its 2014 recruiting class before spending his five-year career with the Gamecocks, playing under both Steve Spurrier and Will Muschamp. He made 22 starts in his career and finished with 176 career tackles

Muschamp is currently an analyst on staff as well at Georgia. Allen-Williams was a linebacker for the Gamecocks and his defensive coordinator for the final three seasons of time in Columbia, S.C., was Travaris Robinson, who is now Georgia’s co-defensive coordinator and safeties coach.

Allen-Williams spent the past two seasons at USC as a quality control coach. Prior to that, he also worked at North Carolina and Georgia State as an analyst.

Georgia has not yet had any coaching turnover as far as its on-field coaching staff. The Bulldogs had four new assistant coaches this past season, with Robinson being one of the new additions.
