Georgia running back Keith Marshall won't be back with the Bulldogs next season.
Marshall is eligible for a fifth season in 2016. But coach Mark Richt said Tuesday that Marshall wanted to move on from the team at the end of 2015. Marshall will participate in Georgia's senior day ceremonies on Saturday.
"Keith came to me a few weeks back and mentioned that he's going to be graduating. He thought that he'd like to declare this his senior season, to which I said that's fine. I blessed it," Georgia coach Mark Richt said via UGASports.com. "He just wants to move on and take his shot at the NFL when the season is over. He wants to finish strong like the rest of the seniors, but he'll be in the ceremony."

Marshall's career at Georgia has been plagued by injuries, including a serious knee injury he suffered against Tennessee in 2013.
He ran for 759 yards as a freshman in 2012 while splitting time with Todd Gurley, who had 1,385 yards. Since his freshman season, Marshall has rushed for 525 yards on 117 carries. The same number of carries he had in all of 2012.
Marshall has 255 yards and three touchdowns in 2015. He had 13 carries for 60 yards in Georgia's win over Kentucky two weeks ago and missed the Bulldogs' win over Auburn because of knee and ankle issues.
