In the last 24 hours, Georgia has seen its basketball team blow a lead against Kentucky, Jake Fromm bolt for the NFL and former five-star offensive lineman Cade Mays enter the transfer portal. Now, Mays’ father is suing UGA and chair company Mity-Lite for an incident that took place just over two years ago.

According to a document obtained by 247Sports from the Clarke County Courthouse, Mays’ father, Kevin, had to have part of his finger amputated at a UGA event.

The court document states:

***WARNING***: Details are graphic.

“Plaintiff Kevin Mays along with his wife, Plaintiff Melinda Mays, and other UGA football team prospects were invited to Sanford Stadium to attend an official visit at the University of Georgia (hereinafter “UGA”) with their son Cade Mays. Cade Mays was an offensive line prospect for the UGA football team from Knoxville, Tennessee.

Plaintiffs Kevin Mays and Melinda Mays with their sons, Cade and Cooper, together with other prospects were invited and did attend a dinner beginning at 8:00 PM on December 15, 2017, at club level inside Sanford Stadium in UGA in Athens, Georgia.

During dinner, as Plaintiff Kevin Mays attempted to stand up, the building support column situated behind the subject folding chair prevented the subject folding chair from moving backwards, and the subject folding chair folded up, catching his finger in the hinge of the subject folding chair.

As a result, Plaintiff Kevin Mays’s right pinky finger was partially amputated as the subject folding chair wegded against the column. His severed finger shot across the floor.

UGA Offensive Line Coach Sam Pittman picked up Plaintiff Kevin Mays’s severed finger, and it was put on ice.

Plaintiff Kevin Mays was transported to Piedmont Hospital in Athens for treatment, where he was diagnosed with partial amputation and fracture involving the fifth distal phalanx of the right hand. Plaintiff Kevin Mays is right-handed. At the Emergency Room, his pain level on a scale from 1-10 was a 10.

Unfortunately, Plaintiff Kevin Mays’s severed finger could not be re-attached. The stump of Plaintiff Kevin Mays’s finger was surgically treated. Medications for pain and infection were administered and he was discharged with care instructions.”

Cade Mays saw action in all 14 UGA games this season with 11 starts. He had two starts at right tackle, one at left tackle, one at left guard, and seven at right guard. He also played center, giving him experience at all five positions. He also pitched in at fullback and tight end in special packages. As a freshman, Mays made the Football Writer's Association of America's freshman All-American team after playing in 11 games with seven starts. Six of those starts were at right guard and one at left tackle. He was also named to the coaches All-SEC team at season's end.

If he does indeed go through with a transfer, Mays will be the fourth starting offensive lineman that will leave the program after the 2019 season. Junior left tackle Andrew Thomas, redshirt sophomore right tackle Isaiah Wilson, and fourth-year junior left guard Solomon Kindley have already declared for the 2020 NFL Draft. The status of fourth-year junior right guard Ben Cleveland is also up in the air. He didn't participate in Georgia's 26-14 win over Baylor in the Allstate Sugar Bowl due to academic issues. He will be ineligible for the spring semester and will have to clear academic hurdles before he can return for the summer or fall.
