Georgia WR announces transfer destination

Jackson Meeks announces transfer destination

Georgia Bulldogs wide receiver Jackson Meeks entered the transfer portal on Dec. 4 with one year of eligibility remaining. Now, the Phenix City, Alabama, native has found a new home.

Meeks is joining former UGA defensive backs coach Fran Brown at Syracuse.

Playing time as a wideout came sparingly for Meeks, who was most productive on special teams throughout his three seasons as a Bulldog.

The 6-foot-2, 205 pounder played in 36 career games and recorded 10 receptions for 132 yards, while adding five tackles on special teams.

Meeks is the third Bulldog in the portal to find a new home. Quarterback Brock Vandagriff committed to Kentucky and defensive lineman Jonathan Jefferson committed to SMU.

Georgia football WR enters transfer portal

Georgia football wide receiver becomes the sixth Bulldog to enter the transfer portal.

Georgia Bulldogs wide receiver Jackson Meeks has entered the transfer portal. As of the time of this post, Meeks was the sixth Bulldog to enter the portal.

Meeks is a key special teamer for Georgia. However, Meeks had trouble earning significant playing time and targets in Georgia’s deep wide receiver room. Meeks hauled in one catch for 23 yards this season.

The 6-foot-2, 205-pound junior will have one season of eligibility left at his new home. Meeks is likely looking for more playing time at his transfer destination.

Meeks announced his plans to enter the transfer portal via social media:

Meeks is a former three-star recruit. He recorded 10 catches for 132 yards over three seasons at Georgia. Meeks also added five tackles in his career.

Update: there are now eight Georgia Bulldogs in the transfer portal.

UGA recruiting: hometown WR Deion Colzie makes commitment

Four-star wide receiver Deion Colzie of Athens Academy has committed to the Notre Dame Fighting Irish over the Georgia Bulldogs.

Wide receiver Deion Colzie decommitted from Notre Dame back in March and reopened his recruitment. Colzie is a member of the class of 2021 and has now re-affirmed his commitment to the Fighting Irish.

Colzie plays for Athens Academy in Athens, Georgia, and is probably the best hometown prospect for the Georgia Bulldogs this year. Colzie is rated as a four-star recruit.

Per 247Sports, Georgia was a slight crystal ball favorite to land Colzie. Three of the six favored of the Bulldogs earlier in Sept. on Colzie’s 247Sports profile page.  Will Colzie stick the Fighting Irish for good or later flip to his hometown team, the Georgia Bulldogs?

Colzie ranks as the nation’s No. 84 overall prospect and as the No. 14 wide receiver in the 2021 class.

The Athens recruit released his top 10 via Twitter several months ago. He put Georgia, Auburn, Tennessee, Notre Dame, Oregon, Ole Miss, Penn State, Virginia, Florida and Alabama among his top schools.

Kirby Smart and Georgia will have to hope to keep the hometown kid in Athens via a last minute flip. UGA currently has two commitments from wide receivers in the class of 2021: Adonai Mitchell and Jackson Meeks.

Best of luck to Colzie with the Fighting Irish. I wouldn’t rule out a flip at this point, but for now, Colzie’s committed to Notre Dame.
