Georgia quarterback Jamie Newman, who transferred to UGA from Wake Forest as a graduate senior this offseason, has opted out of the 2020 college football season.
Newman released a statement via Twitter just minutes after the news was spilled that he would be opting out.

“… due to the uncertainities of this year amid a global pandemic I will officially opt-out of this football season to prepare for the upcoming 2021 NFL Draft.” Newman said in his statement.
This was not the news that Georgia fans were expecting or hoped for. The highly anticipated Jamie Newman era of UGA football has ended before it has even begun.
