Georgia named as leader for nation’s No. 1 transfer

The Georgia Bulldogs are the favorites to land the nation’s top ranked player in the transfer portal

The Georgia Bulldogs have been named as the most likely landing spot for Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets transfer wide receiver Eric Singleton. Singleton, who was Georgia Tech’s leading receiver in 2024, is 247Sports’ No. 1 ranked player in the transfer portal.

“Eric Singleton is the No. 1 player in the portal right now. That is the Georgia Tech wide receiver. And he is looking strongly at Georgia. I would call Georgia the leader in the clubhouse for his services right now,” said 247Sports college football expert Josh Pate. “He is a legit deep threat explosive pass catcher.”

Why is Georgia the leader for Eric Singleton? Well, Georgia has three of the top 20 leading receivers in the NFL right now. And Georgia has Singleton’s former wide receivers coach, Josh Crawford on its coaching staff (Crawford is now UGA’s running backs coach). Those pitches combined with Georgia’s robust Name, Image and Likeness budget give Georgia a strong chance to land Singleton.

The 5-foot-11, 190-pound sophomore from Douglasville, Georgia, has two seasons of eligibility remaining. Singleton is the top receiver in the transfer portal. He recorded eight catches for 86 yards and one touchdown in Georgia Tech’s eight-overtime loss to Georgia, so the Bulldogs have seen what he is capable of firsthand.

Singleton has 56 receptions for 754 receiving yards (Georgia Tech team-high) and three touchdowns. The sophomore is also a threat as a rusher. He has 21 carries for 131 yards and two touchdowns. Singleton is excellent after the catch and is a very versatile athlete.

Singleton also has visits set up to the Ole Miss Rebels and Auburn Tigers.

Georgia is looking to address the wide receiver position in the portal this offseason because Dillon Bell, Dominic Lovett, Arian Smith and Colbie Young are potentially departing to the NFL. UGA has already lost two wide receivers to the transfer portal in Michael Jackson.

The transfer portal is open from Dec. 9 to Dec. 28. Georgia’s College Football Playoff quarterfinal game is in the Sugar Bowl on Jan. 1 at 8:45 p.m. ET.

Georgia Tech WR Eric Singleton scheduled to visit Auburn this week

After being the Yellow Jackets’ leading receiver the past two seasons, Singleton is ready to find a new home.

[autotag]Hugh Freeze[/autotag] and the Auburn coaching staff are looking to make a splash in the transfer portal this season by welcoming several key entrants to campus for visits.

One of the early headliners in the transfer portal is Georgia Tech wide receiver [autotag]Eric Singleton[/autotag], and Auburn is wasting no time in showing interest. According to 247Sports, Singleton is scheduled to visit Auburn on Wednesday.

Singleton made an impact at Georgia Tech by being the team’s leading receiver in both seasons. He hauled in 104 catches for 1,408 yards and nine touchdowns for the Yellow Jackets throughout the 2023 and 2024 seasons.

Last season, he logged 56 catches for 754 yards and three scores. He recorded a season-high eight catches for 86 yards and a touchdown in Georgia Tech’s eight-overtime loss to Georgia on Nov. 29. Singleton made at least two catches in every game this season and went over the 100-yard mark twice.

According to Pro Football Focus data, Singleton reeled in 56 of 91 targets this season with four drops. He added 311 yards to his receiving total after catch, forced nine missed tackles, and led the Yellow Jackets to 32 first downs.

Following [autotag]KeAndre Lambert-Smith[/autotag]’s departure, the Tigers will have an experienced yet youthful wide receiver room. Bringing Singleton into the unit will add another reliable target to the Auburn offense and could become a strong selling point to a transfer quarterback.

Georgia Tech’s leading receiver visiting Georgia

Georgia Tech’s leading receiver, who is in the transfer portal, is planning a visit with UGA

Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets transfer wide receiver Eric Singleton is reportedly going to visit the Georgia Bulldogs. Singleton, who is Georgia Tech’s leading receiver, is an explosive pass catcher that would immediately contribute for Georgia.

The 5-foot-11, 190-pound sophomore from Douglasville, Georgia, has two seasons of eligibility remaining. Singleton is one of the top receivers in the transfer portal. He recorded eight catches for 86 yards and one touchdown in Georgia Tech’s eight-overtime loss to Georgia, so the Bulldogs have seen what he is capable of firsthand.

Singleton has 56 receptions for 754 receiving yards (team-high) and three touchdowns. The sophomore is also a threat as a rusher. He has 21 carries for 131 yards and two touchdowns. Singleton is excellent after the catch.

Singleton also has visits set up with the Ole Miss Rebels and Auburn Tigers.

We don’t know what Georgia coach Kirby Smart said to Georgia Tech head coach Brent Key after the Bulldogs’ 44-42 victory. However, if Smart said that he’s going to take Key’s best receiver now that UGA beat Tech in eight overtimes, then that would’ve not been very nice of him. Todd Kirkland/Getty Images
