Twitter reacts: Georgia DL Bear Alexander commits to USC

How did CFB Twitter react after UGA’s Bear Alexander transferred to USC?

Georgia Bulldogs defensive lineman Bear Alexander is intending to transfer to the USC Trojans. Alexander’s departure is a blow to defensive line depth for Georgia football.

As a true freshman, Bear Alexander recorded nine total tackles and two sacks. Alexander’s strong performance in the national championship game against TCU gave fans and coaches a look at his potential.

The former four-star recruit should have a larger role with the Trojans. Alexander is expected to make a difference for USC’s troublesome defense. Last season, the Trojans finished No. 94 in scoring defense; they allowed an average of 29.2 points per game. Alexander leaves Georgia, which had the nation’s fifth-ranked scoring defense. In 2022, the Bulldogs allowed an average of 14.3 points per game.

For perspective, Georgia has allowed more than 29 points just three times over the past two seasons. The Bulldogs have five shutouts over the same period of time.

Here’s how college football Twitter reacted at Bear Alexander transferred from Georgia to USC:

Georgia DL signee Bear Alexander to miss spring football

2022 signee Bear Alexander will miss time…

2022 Georgia signee Bear Alexander, a four-star defensive lineman out of out of IMG Academy in Bradenton, Fla., will undergo shoulder surgery for a torn labrum and will miss spring practice, according to multiple reports.

Alexander, who stands at 6-foot-3 and weighs 325 pounds, is ranked as the nation’s No. 42 overall player and the No. 6 defensive lineman in the class of 2022, according to 247Sports’ Composite Rankings.

Georgia Butkus Award winner Nakobe Dean had a similar injury last year and went on to have a fantastic season.

If Alexander can work his way back in time for fall camp, which is expected, he’ll have an opportunity to contribute immediately with the Bulldogs losing All-American Jordan Davis and All-SEC first team Devonte Wyatt along the defensive front.
