Robertson, once a five-star recruit out of Savannah Christian School in Savannah, Ga., transferred to Georgia from the University of California in 2018 after suffering a season-ending knee injury in his sophomore season. In 2017 Robertson was a Freshman All-American for the Golden Bears.
With the offseason addition of LSU transfer Arik Gilbert and Dominick Blaylock back off injury, Georgia’s receiver room grew a bit crowded and Robertson’s playing time chances took a hit.
Robertson ends his Georgia career with 42 catches for 443 yards and three touchdowns, adding 10 rushes for 161 yards and a touchdown on the ground.

I'd say bc it's 4 and half hours away from Savannah, he needed game reps, and Auburn was in desperate need for experienced WR depth. This was obviously a business decision and I don't blame DRob one bit

fun fact: different situations, obviously, but Demetris Robertson will be the second former 5-star wide receiver — according to the 247 Composite — to ever play at Auburn
the only other one? Ben Obomanu, all the way back in the class of 2002
