Georgia football tight end picks transfer destination

Georgia Bulldogs tight end Kolby Wyatt is transferring to the Hawaii Rainbow Warriors football program.

Georgia Bulldogs tight end Kolby Wyatt entered the NCAA transfer portal following UGA’s loss to Florida. Now, Kolby Wyatt has decided to transfer to the Hawaii Rainbow Warriors football program. It’s a long ways away from Athens for Wyatt, but he is from San Deigo, California, so he won’t be too far from there.

We wish Wyatt the best at Hawaii. The Rainbow Warriors typically sport an explosive passing offense, so hopefully Wyatt can find significant playing time for Hawaii.

Tre’ McKitty, Darnell Washington and John FitzPatrick have received the majority of playing time at tight end for the Bulldogs this season. Four-star tight end Brock Bowers has additionally committed to Georgia. Wyatt has seen minimal action this season after playing in three games in 2019.

Wyatt, a junior, began his career at UGA as a defensive lineman, but switched numbers and positions last season. He has two years of eligibility left following this season.

College football is projected to have a lot of transfers following this season, so be prepared for more to come.

Former Georgia WR J.J. Holloman enters transfer portal again

Former Georgia Bulldog wide receiver JJ Holloman has entered into the NCAA’s transfer portal. He intends to transfer from the FIU Panthers.

Former Georgia Bulldog wide receiver J.J. Holloman has entered into the NCAA’s transfer portal. Holloman is returning to the transfer portal after initialing transferring from Georgia during the 2019 offseason.

Holloman was involved in an offseason incident and ultimately decided to transfer to the Florida International Panthers football program. Holloman scored a touchdown for FIU, but that was about it for his 2020 college football season. The former Georgia receiver sat out the 2019 season.

Holloman’s transfer left Georgia particularly weak at the wide receiver position for the 2019 season. Jake Fromm and Georgia’s passing game struggled at times throughout the season and couldn’t get the job done without George Pickens for the first half in the SEC Championship Game.

Where will Holloman transfer next? Holloman will be a graduate transfer, so he should be available to be immediately eligible (next season). Georgia fans may want him to return, but that seems unlikely at this point. Due to Holloman’s previous misconduct, he likely won’t be able to return to the SEC.

We’ll update you on Holloman’s transfer destination. There are currently a pair of Georgia wide receivers in the NCAA transfer portal. This offseason may be the most transfer-heavy college football offseason ever. There will be incredible amounts of roster management since players don’t lose eligibility for the 2020 season, even if they played in every game.

Another UGA football WR enters the transfer portal: Makiya Tongue

Georgia Bulldogs wide receiver Makiya Tongue has entered into the NCAA’s transfer portal

Georgia Bulldogs wide receiver Makiya Tongue has entered into the NCAA’s transfer portal. Tongue redshirted in 2019. Last year, he played against Arkansas State, Georgia Tech, and Murray State, but this season he didn’t see the field. It was harder to work in as many depth players this season because of Georgia’s conference-only schedule.

Tongue joins Georgia wide receiver Trey Blount in the NCAA transfer portal. The duo will be looking for new homes, but can still comeback to Athens. The NCAA is allowing the 2020 season to not count against eligibility, so there will be a ton of roster management this offseason. Seniors can come back to school and create a squeeze on roster spots for incoming freshman or transfers.

Tongue played both receiver and defense (safety/outside linebacker) in high school for University Lab. Tongue came to the University of Georgia as a four-star recruit. We wish him the best moving forward and will provide updates on his transfer destination.

Tongue’s dad, Reggie, played in the NFL for several seasons, playing primarily for the Kansas City Chiefs and Seattle Seahawks. Before the NFL, Reggie Tongue played for the Oregon State Beavers.
