Georgia University Fired Staffer Involved in Tragic Football Incident
The University of Georgia has decided to part ways with Tory Bowles, a member of their football recruiting team. This decision comes just recently, stirring up discussions and bringing back memories of the tragic January incident when Georgia football player Devin Willock and staffer Chandler LeCroy lost their lives in a terrible crash. Bowles herself survived the accident but has been facing a difficult journey since then.
The university’s action adds a twist to the situation because Bowles had previously taken legal action against the school. She had claimed that the university was at fault for allowing Chandler LeCroy to drive, despite his not-so-great driving history. She also expressed her disappointment in how she felt dispensable within the university’s setup.

A statement from her legal team shared through Saturday Down South, expressed her frustration, stating, “Tory, like all other perceived liabilities to the football program, became expendable to UGA, and despite her loyalty and meager salary, has been steamrolled. The Association’s public statement issued in response to Tory’s lawsuit, that it ‘patiently supported Ms. Bowles during her long and difficult recovery,’ was obviously self-serving and disingenuous.”
However, the university contradicted this. They stated that Bowles was let go because she wasn’t cooperating fully with an ongoing investigation. This response, though, raises more questions about the whole situation.
The 11Alive Press channel reported about the incident and released video and photos related to the deadly UGA crash. Take a look at the video here-
As this story develops, the Georgia University community is left wondering about the truth. The situation has become more complicated with the contrasting claims from both sides.
So, we’ll keep an eye on how this unfolds.
