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.

Patrick Bond, Wide Receiver (No. 37):

Class: Redshirt Sophomore

Height: 5-10

Weight: 180 pounds

Hometown: Milton, Georgia

High School: Milton High School

Georgia Bulldogs wide receiver Patrick Bond walked on to the team as a freshman in 2018. He took a redshirt that season. Last season Bond played in spring drills, but did not see the field in a game.

Bond played both baseball and football at Milton High School. He played in high school with former Georgia wide receiver Josh Moran, who is now transferring.

Both of Bond’s parents attended the University of Georgia.

Bond will have to battle with a lot of talented receivers in order to see playing time. He’s primarily played on the scout team. Bond was a Special Teams MVP in high school, so he’s got the potential to play some special teams for Georgia as well.

Class: Redshirt freshman

Height: 6-2

Weight: 210 pounds

Hometown: Baton Rouge, Louisiana

High School: University Lab

Tongue came to the University of Georgia as a four-star recruit.
