Chester Brown's love of the University of Georgia football program has been apparent since last July, when he verbally committed to the school.
Shortly thereafter, the massive offensive lineman from Hinesville (Ga.) Bradwell Institute, had the date of his commitment - July 15, 2011 - tattooed onto his arm.
Last night, the 6-foot-5, 340-pound senior reiterated his love for the program - while he reluctantly announced he will not be attending as the result of a controversial immigration policy at the university.
Brown, the son of Samoan immigrants, appears to be caught up in a new Georgia Board of Regents Policy that states an undocumented student cannot be admitted to the school over a legal resident should there be a space limitation.

Brown would not say whether the policy forced him to make the decision, but the Atlanta Journal Constitution, cited multiple sources, indicated it was.
