News began circulating this week that Georgia quarterback JT Daniels was expected to enter the NCAA transfer portal.
On Wednesday, multiple outlets confirmed that Daniels has now made his decision final and has indeed entered the portal.
Daniels started multiple games for Georgia in 2020 and was expected to be the starting quarterback for Georgia’s 2021 season.
Daniels started against Clemson and made another start against South Carolina. He was diagnosed with a strained oblique muscle, propelling Stetson Bennett into the starting spot.
Daniels was the nation’s No. 2 ranked recruit in the class of 2018 and enrolled at USC before transferring to UGA in May of 2020.
Daniels was 7-0 as Georgia’s starting quarterback, including both 2020 and 2021.
Mike Griffith of DawgNation reports a few schools that might be interested in Daniels this offseason.
Daniels, who transferred to Georgia from USC before the 2020 season, will be eligible to play in 2022 as a graduate transfer. Among the schools that might seem to be potential destinations are Notre Dame, LSU, Texas A&M, Missouri, Ole Miss, Penn State and Colorado.
Georgia wide receiver Jermaine Burton also announced he is entering the transfer portal on Wednesday.
