Georgia OT to enter the NCAA transfer portal

Georgia offensive tackle, former four-star recruit enters the transfer portal ahead of spring practice

Georgia Bulldogs offensive tackle Chad Lindberg plans to enter the NCAA transfer portal when it opens on April 15. Lindberg, a former four-star recruit, played in 12 games throughout the 2023 college football season.

Lindberg is entering the transfer portal ahead of spring practice, which begins on March 12. The 6-foot-6, 325-pound senior offensive tackle has played in 22 career games for the Bulldogs. Lindberg projected as Georgia’s back-up right tackle for the fall.

Now, Georgia will likely rely on Monroe Freeling as the second-string right tackle. The Dawgs also have Daniel Calhoun, Bo Hughley, and Jamal Meriweather as depth at offensive tackle.

Lindberg announced his plans to transfer via social media. He has two seasons of eligibility remaining.

Lindberg’s likely departure is a blow to Georgia’s offensive line depth. Lindberg has the talent to start right away at another Power Five program.

UGA football player card: OL Chad Lindberg

Georgia Bulldogs offensive lineman Chad Lindberg came to the University of Georgia as a four-star recruit in the talented class of 2020

Chad Lindberg, Offensive Line (No. 78):

Class: Freshman

Height: 6-6

Weight: 315 pounds

Hometown: League City, Texas

High School: Clear Creek High School

Georgia Bulldogs offensive lineman Chad Lindberg came to the University of Georgia as a four-star recruit in the talented class of 2020. He was invited to the Under Armour All-American Game after an impressive career at Clear Creek. Lindberg also participated in track and field during high school.

Lindberg will compete with Xavier Truss, Jamaree Salyer, Warren Ericson, Justin Shaffer, Warren McClendon, Broderick Jones, and more for playing time. Lindberg has the talent to play immediately, but due to the experience and talent level of his competition, it should be anticipated that he’ll have a smaller role in 2020.

Georgia Bulldogs offensive line coach Matt Luke loaded up on talent despite losing three players to the 2020 NFL Draft. Luke pulled together a dynamic recruiting class along the offensive front including arguably the nation’s top tackle and the top ranked center.

Here’s what he looks like in the red and black:

Georgia football signee: Dawgs are ‘not done’ with this recruiting class

It seems as if those closest to the situation feel confident in the Bulldogs’ chances of reeling in more big fish.

With National Signing Day fast approaching, the Georgia Bulldogs already have 19 players enrolled from December’s early signing period.

After transfers, graduations, and draft declaration, this puts Georgia at a projected 82 scholarships out of the NCAA-imposed limit of 85 total. The Dawgs can sign three additional high school prospects, and more if any more scholarship players announce a transfer.

It seems as if those closest to the situation feel confident in the Bulldogs’ chances of reeling in more big fish.

Given that the Dawgs will replace four starting offense linemen, it’s appears to be a good sign that two offensive line signees are hinting at something.

For a Georgia offense anchored upon physical line play and powerful tailbacks, this is exactly what fans of the Silver Britches needed to see.
