Georgia DB entering transfer portal ahead of SEC championship

Georgia defensive back to enter transfer portal, who has started several games this year, days before SEC championship vs. Texas

Georgia Bulldogs redshirt sophomore defensive back Julian Humphrey intends to enter the transfer portal. Humphrey announced his intentions to enter the portal via social media. The transfer portal officially opens on Dec. 9.

Humphrey announced his plans just six days before Georgia plays against Texas in the 2024 SEC championship game.

Humphrey has played and started in several games for Georgia this season. In recent week, Daniel Harris has taken over as the primary cornerback alongside Daylen Everette, signaling a shift in Georgia’s lineup. It now appears that Humphrey has made a decision about his future. Humphrey has 10 tackles and four pass break ups in 10 games this season.

After briefly entering the transfer portal following last season and announcing his departure after the Orange Bowl, Humphrey ultimately chose to return to Georgia. However, based on the timing it now seems like he will transfer to another program. It is unclear if Humphrey will continue practicing with the team.

A member of Georgia’s 2022 recruiting class, Humphrey was a highly regarded four-star prospect and ranked among the top 100 players in the nation. Originally from Texas, he initially committed to Florida during his recruitment but later decommitted and pledged to the Bulldogs. During his time in Athens, he contributed as both a starting and reserve defensive back.

Humphrey’s decision to enter the transfer portal is a blow to UGA’s outside cornerback depth. The Bulldogs would likely have to turn to Ellis Robinson
