Twitter reacts as Jamie Newman transfers to UGA

Former Wake Forest QB Jamie Newman is transferring to the Georgia Bulldogs.

The Georgia Bulldogs have lost their fair share of quarterbacks to the transfer portal over the years: Justin Fields, Jacob Eason, Nick Marshall, Zach Mettenberger, and more. It’s about time UGA landed somebody in return: Wake Forest graduate transfer Jamie Newman.

Newman is the most talented transfer QB on the market and Georgia needed somebody to start while talented UGA QB signee Carson Beck learns the system and adjusts to the speed of college football. Newman threw for 26 touchdowns and ran for six more last season. He also threw eleven interceptions. He’ll have to cut down on the picks in Athens. Jake Fromm threw just five interceptions last season and eighteen in his UGA career.

Here’s how Georgia Bulldog fans, former coaches, and the college football world reacted to the signing on Twitter:

Former UGA coach Mark Richt predicts Newman will be the SEC’s best quarterback. Richt knows his football, so I’d trust him on this one:

Newman put up some impressive numbers according to PFF:

Newman must be careful around the notorious folding chairs in Athens:

This reminds me of politics:

Georgia football’s CB Eric Stokes returning to Athens

Georgia Bulldogs cornerback Eric Stokes Jr. is returning to Athens for another season between the hedges. He was eligible for the NFL Draft.

Georgia Bulldogs cornerback Eric Stokes Jr. is returning to Athens for another season between the hedges. Stokes is Georgia’s best corner and is a key piece for UGA’s talented 2020 secondary. Stokes is a redshirt sophomore, but has more than enough talent to declare for the 2020 NFL Draft.

Today, Stokes Jr. joined fellow secondary mates Mark Webb and Richard LeCounte in returning for another season at Georgia. Stokes announced his decision via Twitter:

Stokes recorded nine pass deflections and thirty-eight tackles in 2019. He started every game for Georgia. Stokes’ best game came against the Tennessee Volunteers when he deflected three passes and forced one memorable fumble:

This hit put an exclamation point of UGA’s win in Knoxville. Stokes will continue to make a huge impact for Dan Lanning’s defense. He didn’t put up big-time numbers in 2020, but that is attributed to teams respecting him and throwing against other players.
