More about Akeem Hebron
Hebron, a Maryland native, pledged his allegiance to the Bulldogs in 2006. Hebron participated in 16 games for the University of Georgia from 2008 to 2010. He recorded 10 tackles, including two for a loss and one sack. Hebron’s college career got off to a rocky start as he was suspended for the 2007 campaign.
According to the Chattanooga Times Free Press, he was sent to Georgia Military College after being detained twice in a two-month period for underage alcohol possession. Later, Hebron was permitted to return to the University of Georgia, where he earned his degree. His old coach thought that college helped him develop personally. He even praised Hebron for being a good man.
Hebron’s son Adrian was 8 years old in December 2022, and that was the occasion for his final Instagram post. Hebron posted two images of the youngster along with the message, “Happy 8th Birthday to my mini-me!! To the moon and back, I love you.” In July 2017, Hebron and his wife gave birth to Kade Michael Hebron, their second son.
