Haynes is the No. 24 wide receiver and No. 111 overall transfer prospect in the NCAA transfer portal, according to 247Sports. Syracuse landed an athletic, speedy, quick, and natural receiver as they continue to build their roster for next season.
As for Georgia, the Bulldogs recruited some serious talent at wide receiver four-star NiTareon Tuggle and three-star Sacovie White, who committed to their 2024 class. Also, the Dawgs are expected to pursue multiple wide receivers from the transfer portal and are currently projected to add Vanderbilt transfer, London Humphreys.
