Former UGA football WR Matt Landers announces transfer destination

Former Georgia Bulldogs wide receiver Matt Landers transferred to the Toledo Rockets football program after the 2020 college football season. Now, the Toledo receiver is on the move again. Landers is transferring back into the SEC to the Arkansas Razorbacks.

Matt Landers has three seasons of college football experience. He caught 20 passes for 514 yards and scored five touchdowns last season for Toledo.
