Georgia Bulldogs cornerback Divaad Wilson is currently in the NCAA’s transfer portal and will be transferring to the University of Central Florida. Wilson was expected to compete for the starting nickel role at Georgia, but now he’s headed to Orlando, Florida.
Wilson is talented, as he displayed with a key interception against Notre Dame last year, and should boost the UCF Knights secondary. It’s anybody’s guess if he’ll be ruled immediately eligible.
Wilson is from Miami, Florida and wanted to be closer to home. Best of luck to Wilson at UCF. He’ll be missed in Athens, but the loss isn’t devastating to Georgia’s secondary for this season, which is absolutely loaded. His transfer certainty thins future depth for the Bulldogs.
Divaad Wilson also considered transferring to Miami, Florida, Florida State and more. Wilson will be fun to watch moving forward at UCF.
Wilson should be immediately eligible since he wants to be closer to home, but the NCAA is not consistent on transfer eligibility rulings. We’ll update fans on his eligibility status as soon as we hear about it.
