Former Georgia football wide receiver Trey Blount finds new home at Old Dominion
Former Georgia football wide receiver Trey Blount appears to have found a new home as a graduate transfer.
Blount, the 6’2″, 200-pound former four-star out of Pace Academy, will be playing at Old Dominion University next season, per his recently updated Twitter account.
The senior thanked the Bulldog Nation on Sunday for a successful four years in the Classic City and will look to contribute more on the field with the Monarchs in Norfolk.
A look at the Georgia football 2020 wider receiver room headlined by star George Pickens.
The 2020 college football season is fast approaching and players will be allowed back on campus for summer workouts starting June 8.
That said, let’s take a look at the Georgia wide receivers, perhaps the most exciting position to watch for the Bulldogs in 2020.
This is not a depth chart projection, but a look at who we project to see the most snaps.
1. George Pickens (So.)

Pickens (6-3, 190), from Hoover, Alabama, is one of the best returning receiver in college football and will be heavily relied upon by new Wake Forest transfer QB Jamie Newman and for good reason. As a freshman in 2019, Pickens caught 49 passes for 727 yards and 8 touchdowns, which earned him Coaches’ Freshman All-SEC Team honors.
2. Demetris Robertson (Sr.)
Christopher Hanewinckel-USA TODAY Sports
Robertson, (6-0, 190) from Savannah, Georgia, is a transfer from the University of California in 2018 and hasn’t been able to find much a rhythm as a Bulldog. However, we know he has talent and even received Freshman All-American honors in his time with Cal, so look for his speed on the inside to be a huge factor for the Bulldogs in 2020.
3. Dominick Blaylock (So.)

Assuming Blaylock (6-1, 195) returns from an ACL tear in 2019, he will be competing for the starting slot-receiver position with Robertson. Before his injury, Blaylock, from Marietta, Georgia, was having a solid freshman season, catching 18 passes for 310 yards and 5 touchdowns in 12 games. Most notably, Blaylock averaged over 17 yards per reception and contributed to special teams as punt/kick returner.
4. Matt Landers (Junior)

Landers (6-5, 200), from St. Petersburg, Florida, should see time on the outside opposite George Pickens. Especially in goal line situations where his length creates match-up problems with virtually anyone who covers him. That being said, Landers will have to show route-running and catching improvement if he wants to contribute. His three catches versus Baylor in the Sugar Bowl shows he is headed in the right direction.

Jackson (6-0, 200,) from Fort Valley, Georgia, started the Bulldogs’ first game at Vanderbilt last season and caught two passes for 31 yards until exiting early with a hand injury that derailed the rest of his 2019 season. Georgia coaches were confident enough to tab Jackson as a starter early on, so, assuming his hand injury is no longer a factor, he should be competing for the slot position with Robertson and Blaylock this summer.
NEXT: Who else could we expect to catch some passes this year?
Georgia Bulldogs wide receiver Trey Blount played in just four games last season while fighting through injuries and redshirted.
Trey Blount, Wide Receiver (#14):
Class: Junior
Height: 6-2
Weight: 200 pounds
Hometown: Atlanta, Georgia
High School: Pace Academy
Georgia Bulldogs wide receiver Trey Blount played in just four games last season and redshirted. Blount came to the University of Georgia as a four-star recruit.
Blount is a sound, fundamental blocker who knows his assignments. He fought through injuries in 2019. Before last season, Blount played in 14 games in both 2017 and 2018. He has four receptions for 52 yards in his career.
In 2020, Blount will compete for the receiver playing time in the position opposite George Pickens. Dominick Blaylock is recovering from a torn ACL. Georgia secured a top recruiting class in 2020 and has a wealth of talent at the wide receiver position. It will be position group competition to watch next season.

Take a look at Georgia footballs injury status prior to UGA’s final game of their regular season before LSU at Georgia Tech.
Georgia defeated the Texas A&M Aggies this Saturday in a cold and rainy matchup by a final score of 19-13. A win is a win, but man wouldn’t it be nice to close some teams out strong?
The Dawgs didn’t look bad in the first half, nearly covering the 13-point spread they were given prior to the game. It was the 2nd half that made Bulldog fans scratch their heads.
The Aggies outscored Georgia 10-6 in the 2nd half. That is a pretty bad look for a No. 4 team, but give credit to a hard-fought, Jimbo Fisher coached team.
Now the Dawgs have just one more opponent left before facing LSU in the SEC Championship game, and that is Georgia Tech.
With LSU looming, the Dawgs will look to be as healthy as possible for that game.
Here is a look at the injured Bulldogs heading into week 14 at Tech.
Full injury report:
Probable: DB Eric Stokes
Stokes left the Texas A&M game just before halftime after he got a little dinged up on a hit. Kirby Smart did not seem concerned about the matter. Expect Stokes to be ready to go.
Probable: DB Tyson Campbell
Campbell has been playing through a toe injury for the past couple of weeks but is cleared to play against Tech.
Probable: OL Cade Mays
Mays has been nursing an ankle injury since the Missouri game. He dressed against A&M but was very limited, as is expected next week in order to save him for LSU.
Questionable: WR Trey Blount
Blount is listed as questionable with an undisclosed injury.
Questionable: WR Lawrence Cager
Cager has been battling a left shoulder injury nearly the entire season. Even missing a number of games, Cager is still the Dawgs leader in receptions and receiving yards. Expect Cager to get minimal time if any to rest him up for the SEC Championship game vs LSU.
OUT: WR Tommy Bush
Bush has been recovering from a sports hernia and will likely be out for the year.
OUT: DT Tramel Walthour
Walthour is battling a lower-body injury and has no timetable for his return.
OUT: OL Owen Condon
Condon has been battling a lower-body injury all year and Saturday was seen in a sling. Should likely be out for season.
OUT: OL Justin Shaffer
Shaffer was in a neck brace for the A&M game and has no timetable for his return.
OUT: QB D’Wan Mathis
Freshman quarterback D’wan Mathis is out indefinitely after undergoing surgery to remove a cyst from his brain this offseason. There is no current timetable for Mathis’ return.
UGA football is banged up heading into the Georgia vs Auburn football game.
The No. 4 Georgia Bulldogs are coming off of a 27-0 smackdown of Missouri, as well as a massive win over Florida the week prior. The Dawgs have been rolling with a three game win streak since the hiccup of South Carolina.
Approaching week 12 comes Georgia’s biggest game thus far, a chance to secure its 3rd straight trip to the SEC Championship.
Auburn is currently ranked No. 12 with a record of 7-2, 4-2 in SEC. Its two loss season is not to be overlooked as the Tigers lost close games at No. 10 Florida and No. 1 LSU.
Last weekend vs Missouri, Georgia won, but it came at cost. The Dawgs lost a few players to injuries throughout the game, but for the most part nothing looks too serious.
Here’s a look at the Dawgs injury report prior to the Deep South’s Oldest Rivalry.
Full injury report:
Probable: WR Lawrence Cager
Cager aggravated his shoulder last game and did not return. The Dawgs leading receiver has been practicing this week and is expected to play on Saturday. Having Cager against Auburn will be crucial, as he has become Fromm’s favorite target this season.
Probable: WR Tyler Simmons
Simmons’ shoulder has been bothering for a majority of the season but he should be good to go.
Probable: OL Cade Mays
Mays left the Missouri game with a hurt ankle but has indicated that he is fine.
Probable: CB Tyson Campbell
Campbell missed a significant chunk of the season with turf toe but played vs Missouri and said he felt great out there.
