Georgia Bulldog transfer has breakout performance

Georgia Bulldogs football transfer wide receiver goes off for the Syracuse Orange.

Former Georgia Bulldog wide receiver Jackson Meeks has been looking for opportunities to prove himself as a top wide receiver on the Syracuse Orange. This past week, he went a long way towards doing that.

Against the Holy Cross Crusaders, Meeks had a career day, racking up 161 yards and a touchdown on 10 receptions. He was a big part of the Syracuse offense in a dominating 42-14 win.

His strong performance earned him the top Pro Football Focus grade of any wide receiver in the country this week, with a 90.2 grade. It also earned him a spot on the All-ACC team in PFF for Week 5.

Before this game, Meeks had only tallied about 3 receptions per game, but he was doing well with them, totaling about 38 yards a game, meaning he had over 12 yards a reception. With fellow Georgia transfer Yazeed Haynes missing time due to personal reasons, Meeks took advantage of his improved playing time. It’ll be interesting to see how both their college careers pan out, but for Meeks, it could be a sign of dominance to come.

Syracuse is 3-1 to start the season under former Georgia Bulldogs defensive back coach Fran Brown.

Six schools that make sense for Georgia DL transfer Bear Alexander

Six schools that make sense for Georgia WR transfer AD Mitchell

These six schools would be a great fit for AD Mitchell.

The latest big name to enter the crowded NCAA transfer portal is Georgia wide receiver Adonai Mitchell.

Mitchell is looking for a new home after helping guide UGA to back-to-back national championships. “AD” came up with two of the best catches in Georgia football history, hauling in the game-winning touchdowns against Alabama in the 2022 national title and Ohio State in the Peach Bowl.

Injuries kept Mitchell sidelined for the majority of the 2022 campaign, but many expected him to be Georgia’s top target coming into the year. Mitchell returned in the SEC championship game and looked like an elite pass catcher in the postseason.

Mitchell is a former four-star prospect from the class of 2021. He is a Texas native who moved to Tennessee to finish his high school career. Mitchell has three seasons of eligibility remaining at the college level.

Here is a look at six schools that would make sense for AD Mitchell to transfer to.

The Georgia Bulldogs lost a lot of players to the NCAA transfer portal last offseason. How did players who transferred from UGA perform

Some former Georgia players blossomed at their new homes. Others failed to make an impact or suffered an unfortunate injury.

Watch: UGA’s Jamie Newman shows off arm in Wake Forest highlights

UGA football’s Jamie Newman is a talented deep ball thrower and is expected to make an instant impact for the Georgia Bulldogs in 2020.

The Georgia Bulldogs have landed the top transfer quarterback in the country: Wake Forest’s Jamie Newman. It is about time the Dawgs landed a talented transfer QB after losing Justin Fields and Jacob Eason.

Newman scored 32 total touchdowns last season across twelve games (he missed the Florida State game with a shoulder injury). He is a great deep ball thrower. Newman had talented receivers at Wake Forest, but it’s not as dynamic as Georgia’s deep, talented offensive attack. Newman should help UGA get the ball down the field more in 2020.

Newman made his transfer announcement official in January via Twitter. He and four-star freshman quarterback Carson Beck will compete for the starting job this spring. Newman is the favorite to win the position battle and is being bet on as a Heisman dark horse.

Newman’s 2019 season at Wake Forest was solid for their standards. Newman helped the Demon Deacons go 8-5 en route to a 27-21 defeat against Michigan State in the New Era Pinstripe Bowl. Newman and the Demon Deacons averaged 31.8 points per game last season, which is more the UGA’s 30.8 points per game average.

Newman went 3-1 in 2018 as a starter. He won his first career start at No. 14 NC State, when he led the Deacons to a come-from-behind 27-23 win with game-winning 2-minute drill. He had 13 total TDs and four interceptions in 2018.

Highlight video is per Stadium:

Newman’s deep passing certainly stands out. He also has the wheels to be forced to be accounted for in the run game. UGA will run more RPO’s this season. Teams can no longer discount the QB when UGA runs the football. Newman’s rushing ability should help the Dawgs convert at a higher clip in the red zone.

Newman had pretty solid protection on most of his accurate deep throws. Georgia’s offensive linemen in 2019, who are still with the team in 2020, graded much better with PFF. Newman’s first big challenge will be at Alabama in week three.

Watch: UGA transfer Jamie Newman highlights at Wake Forest

The Georgia Bulldogs have landed the top transfer QB in the country: Wake Forest’s Jamie Newman. Watch his impressive 2019 highlights.

The Georgia Bulldogs have landed the top transfer quarterback in the country: Wake Forest’s Jamie Newman. UGA lost Justin Fields and Jacob Eason during the Kirby Smart era, so it is about time the Dawgs landed a talented transfer QB of their own.

Newman scored 32 total touchdowns last season and is a talented deep ball thrower. Newman had talented receivers at Wake Forest, but it’s not the same as Georgia’s deep, talented offensive attack.

Newman made his transfer announcement official via Twitter:

Let’s take a look back at Newman’s 2019 season at Wake Forest. Newman helped the Demon Deacons go 8-5 en route to an appearance in the New Era Pinstripe Bowl.

Highlight video is per Stadium:

Newman’s deep passing certainly stands out. He also has the wheels to be forced to be accounted for in the run game. Teams can no longer discount the QB when UGA runs the football. Newman had pretty solid protection on most of his accurate deep throws.

His receivers were certainly no slouches. Sage Surratt is extremely talented and had over 1,000 yards receiving on the season. Georgia’s offensive line will be key in 2020, following the loss of starters, UGA will be cut out for itself trying to block the elite defensive lines of the SEC.

Will UGA pursue most talented graduate transfer QB on the market?

The Georgia Bulldogs may be looking for the next great transfer quarterback, especially with Jake Fromm potentially entering the NFL Draft

The Georgia Bulldogs may be looking for the next great transfer quarterback this off-season. With Jake Fromm potentially entering into the NFL Draft after the Sugar Bowl, Georgia must be prepared to pursue all options this off-season. As it currently stands, four-star QB commit Carson Beck is set to be the favorite for Georgia’s starting job if Fromm heads to the NFL.

Georgia has lost their fair share of QBs to the transfer portal over the years, but is it time for UGA to go into the portal to secure a talented passer? It’d give Beck one year to develop and learn the system before starting. Beck wouldn’t have to start at Alabama early next season.

If Fromm doesn’t return, Kirby Smart may want to pursue Wake Forest’s Jamie Newman. Newman helped lead Wake Forest to a 9-5 season. He put up impressive numbers last season:

Other talented QBs in the portal include: K.J. Costello (Stanford), Feleipe Franks (Florida, no thanks), Justin Rogers (TCU), and Jack Allison (West Virginia). Who will be the next transfer to be a Heisman contender? The best bet would be Wake Forest’s Jamie Newman.

As for now, it is only speculation on where is next for Newman. UGA may not need a QB next season with either Fromm or Beck. Regardless, Georgia could use a back-up.
