Earlier this year, when it was discovered another surgery was needed for Rhoden to be able to play, she'huddled together with doctors and head coach Andy Landers, and they concluded that her playing career as a Lady Bulldog was over.

The response from the SEC compliance office came at an opportune time for the Bulldogs.

Green earlier this season. King is expected to step in as the backup running back to sophomore Washaun Ealey against the Gators.
