Georgia Bulldogs walk-on wide receiver Braxton Hicks has committed to transferring to the Austin Peay Governors. Hicks is a graduate transfer with two seasons of eligibility remaining.
The 6-foot-2, 195-pound wide receiver is from Rabun County High School in Tiger, Georgia. Hicks did not record a reception or target in Georgia’s spring game.
Georgia Bulldogs wide receiver Braxton Hicks came to Athens as an unheralded recruit. He was a member of the class of 2020 and saw some action during the 2021 season for Georgia after redshirting in 2020.
The Rabun County product faced stout competition from a loaded Georgia wide receivers room, so it is hard to blame him for entering the transfer portal. He announced his plans to transfer to Austin Peay via social media:
