Former Georgia DL enters transfer portal

Former Georgia edge rusher seeks new home after spending the 2024 college football season with FSU

Former Georgia Bulldogs edge rusher Marvin Jones Jr. is back in the transfer portal. Jones Jr. transferred from Georgia to Florida State last winter.

Jones Jr. started at edge rusher for Florida State. He appeared in 9 games for the Seminoles, who finished the an ugly 2024 season 2-10. He finished the season with four sacks and a forced fumble. Jones Jr. is entering the transfer portal for the second time in his career.

Jones Jr., a former five-star recruit, appeared in 11 games during his time with Georgia. Over his career in Athens, he recorded 14 total tackles, two sacks, and a forced fumble. Now standing at 6-foot-5 and 255 pounds, the junior edge rusher is seeking a fresh start, marking his third program in four years.

With his size, athleticism, and pedigree, Jones Jr. has the potential to develop into a key contributor for a Power Four program as a defensive lineman. He will have two years of eligibility remaining to make an impact during the 2025 college football season.

Jones Jr. is one of several former Georgia Bulldogs entering the transfer portal for the second time in their career. The transfer portal is open from Dec. 9 to Dec. 28, but players can commit to new schools after the Dec. 28 deadline (they just can’t enter the portal after that date).
