Georgia Bulldogs WR names transfer destination

Former Georgia Bulldogs junior wide receiver Tommy Bush has transferred closer to home after attending Samuel Clemens High School in Texas.

Former Georgia Bulldogs junior wide receiver Tommy Bush, who dealt with nagging injuries the majority of his time in Athens, has transferred to the North Texas Mean Green. North Texas plays in C-USA and went 4-6 during the 2020 college football season.

Tommy Bush will look to earn more playing time with the Mean Green. North Texas is looking to replace former star wide receiver Jaelon Darden, who was drafted by Tampa Bay in the 2021 NFL draft.

The 6-foot-5, 195 pound receiver will give North Texas a red zone threat. Tommy Bush joins other Georgia Bulldogs wide receivers in transferring this offseason.

Bush was involved in a hit-and-run car accident in October where he suffered a concussion and lost a tooth.  Prior to this incident, Bush was nursing a sports hernia/groin injury.  He did not see the field last season and never truly unlocked his potential.  He had only recorded one catch during the 2019 season.

The former 4-star recruit is a Texas native and has at least two years of eligibility left in his college career. Now, he’ll be closer to home.

Tommy Bush attended Samuel Clemens High School in Schertz, Texas. Bush entered the NCAA transfer portal in Feb. 2021.

UGA football player card: WR Tommy Bush

Georgia Bulldogs wide receiver Tommy Bush came to Athens as a four-star recruit., but he only played in one game last season.

Tommy Bush, Wide Receiver (#12):

Class: Redshirt Sophomore

Height: 6-5

Weight: 195 pounds

Hometown: Schertz, Texas

High School: Samuel Clemens High School

Georgia Bulldogs wide receiver Tommy Bush redshirted as a freshman in 2018, when he played in two games: against Austin Peay and UMass. Bush only played one game in 2019. He caught one pass for one yard against Georgia Tech.

At 6-5, Bush has excellent size and the potential to replace Lawrence Cager as a red zone target. Bush came to Athens as a talented four-star wide receiver.

In 2020, Bush will compete for the receiver playing time in the position opposite George Pickens. Dominick Blaylock is recovering from a torn ACL. Georgia secured an elite recruiting class in 2020 and has plenty of talent at the wide receiver position. It will be an interesting position battle to see unfold.

Tommy Bush has been working hard in preparation for the season:

UGA football player card: WR Matt Landers

Georgia Bulldogs wide receiver Matt Landers will look to provide a red zone threat for the Dawgs in 2020.

Matt Landers, Wide Receiver (#5):

Class: Junior

Height: 6-5

Weight: 200 pounds

Hometown: St. Petersburg, Florida

High School: St. Petersburg High School

Georgia Bulldogs wide receiver Matt Landers had an up and down season in 2019.  Landers and Tommy Bush are Georgia’s two tallest wide receivers. Will one of them be able to step up and help replace Lawrence Cager’s ability to win jump balls?

Georgia could use another red zone threat in 2020. George Pickens is expected to be a star next season, but he can’t do it all on his own. Plenty of wide receivers will have chance to step up from UGA. Landers has the size to be a red zone mismatch.

Landers came to Athens as a three-star recruit, but don’t rule him out in the wide receiver competition. He is an excellent blocker and will contribute to the team. Improved consistency would go a long way for Landers.

He saved his best for last against the Baylor Bears in the Sugar Bowl. Landers caught three passes for 25 yards and scored this sweet touchdown:
