Georgia CB Divaad Wilson picks transfer destination

Georgia Bulldogs cornerback Divaad Wilson will be transferring to UCF over Florida, Miami, and more.

Georgia Bulldogs cornerback Divaad Wilson is currently in the NCAA’s transfer portal and will be transferring to the University of Central Florida. Wilson was expected to compete for the starting nickel role at Georgia, but now he’s headed to Orlando, Florida.

Wilson is talented, as he displayed with a key interception against Notre Dame last year, and should boost the UCF Knights secondary. It’s anybody’s guess if he’ll be ruled immediately eligible.

Wilson is from Miami, Florida and wanted to be closer to home. Best of luck to Wilson at UCF. He’ll be missed in Athens, but the loss isn’t devastating to Georgia’s secondary for this season, which is absolutely loaded. His transfer certainty thins future depth for the Bulldogs.

Divaad Wilson also considered transferring to Miami, Florida, Florida State and more. Wilson will be fun to watch moving forward at UCF.

Wilson should be immediately eligible since he wants to be closer to home, but the NCAA is not consistent on transfer eligibility rulings. We’ll update fans on his eligibility status as soon as we hear about it.

Georgia DB Divaad Wilson enters NCAA transfer portal

Georgia football DB Divaad Wilson enters the NCAA transfer portal in order to be closer to home.

Redshirt sophomore Georgia cornerback Divaad Wilson has announced that he will be entering the NCAA transfer portal on Monday.  Wilson explained via Twitter that his decision was made solely to be closer to home during these uncertain times due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Wilson appeared in eleven games for the Dawgs last season, totaling 24 tackles, one interception and one pass deflection.

His decision should be seen as a respectable one to Georgia fans, as family always comes first.  Wilson is from Miami, Florida and will likely browse schools in that area.

Wilson, who tore his ACL in the spring of 2018, will look to put together another solid season in Athens. He redshirted and missed ever game of the 2018 season, except for the Sugar Bowl against Texas. Wilson should be completely recovered from his injury heading into the 2020 season. He’s a candidate to have an impact season from the STAR position.
