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.

Former Georgia WR J.J. Holloman scores first career TD for FIU

Former Georgia Bulldogs wide receiver J.J. Holloman hauled in his first career touchdown pass for the Florida International Panthers

Former Georgia Bulldogs wide receiver J.J. Holloman hauled in his first career touchdown pass for the Florida International Panthers this week. Holloman was dismissed from the Georgia team before the 2019 season and transferred to FIU following his dismissal.

Holloman had numerous memorable catches during his time at Georgia. He has a knack for scoring on contested catches in the red zone.

To provide an update on Holloman, he still maintains relationships with many of his former Georgia Bulldogs teammates. He is a junior at FIU. He recently scored his first career touchdown at FIU:

It is good to see Holloman doing well, even though he’s no longer with the Georgia football program. Holloman still has NFL potential and will look to replicate some his success from his days at UGA.

It has been a tough season for the FIU Panthers, who are 0-5. Holloman will hope to be a bright spot for them moving forward as they try to get out of the cellar of Conference USA.

Former Georgia WR JJ Holloman shares awesome DM he got from Stetson Bennett in 2016

Former Georgia football WR Jeremiah Holloman shared a really cool DM he got from UGA QB Stetson Bennett back in 2016.

Stetson Bennett has overcome a ton of obstacles en route to becoming Georgia’s starting quarterback in 2020.

Rewind years before he was leading a Bulldog team to a victory over Auburn, Bennett was once a 2-star recruit out of Pierce County High School in Blackshear, Georgia.

He wound up walking on at UGA in 2017. After redshirting, he transferred to Jones County Junior College in Ellisville, Mississippi. And then he came back and sat behind Jake Fromm for another year. Now, he’s the starter on the No. 3 ranked Georgia team that just took down then-ranked No. 7 Auburn.

Former Georgia wide receiver Jeremiah Holloman took to Twitter after Georgia’s beatdown of Auburn to share a really cool message he received from Bennett when they both in high school in 2016. Bennett had messaged Holloman, who was a highly-ranked 4-star recruit out of Convington, for contact info for a member of the Auburn coaching staff. Bennett was preparing to go to an Auburn camp and “just wanted someone to know” that he’d be in attendance.

Bennett completed 17/28 passes for 240 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions during Georgia’s 26-7 victory over the Tigers.

As Holloman said on Twitter – “I think they know you now.”

Georgia football: Kirby Smart excited about loaded group of WR signees

Georgia football HC Kirby Smart talked about UGA’s loaded group of incoming wide receivers.

After Georgia football landed college football’s No. 1 ranked recruiting class, head coach Kirby Smart spoke with the media about why he recruited each position group the way that he did.

A big reason why Georgia was able to secure the No. 1 class was in part thanks to the signing of five wide receivers, four of them being 4-stars.

We all saw the step back that Georgia football suffered this past season on offense without Mecole Hardman, Terry Godwin, JJ Holloman, Riley Ridley and Isaac Nauta.

Next season Georgia will be without one of its best receivers Lawrence Cager, who shined in 2019 as a grad transfer from Miami before suffering a season ending injury.

Luckily for the Bulldogs, though, Georgia football is in good shape with the return of two five-stars George Pickens and Dominick Blaylock, who are both sure to have big sophomore seasons.

Once Cager was done for the year, it was pretty much Pickens and everyone else. Blaylock did a fine job but did not see enough action.

But there was just no help for Pickens or Blaylock and Smart acknowledged the lack of skill at receiver throughout the 2019 season.

On Wednesday, Smart spoke about the importance of Georgia football landing such a talented class of wide receivers this recruiting cycle.

“Wide receiver was an area that we had to address and I’m excited about the wide receivers that we have as additions to this signing class and those guys are expected to help us. With Justin (Robinson) being here now and going through a couple of bowl practices with us, it’s been a big addition to get those guys.”

Robinson was the only one of the five to enroll early in Athens.
