Tracking Georgia football’s transfers

What Georgia Bulldogs are in the NCAA transfer portal? Who has already transferred from the University of Georgia?

The Georgia Bulldogs lose and gain a significant amount of talent each offseason via the transfer portal. This offseason is no different.

The 2020 college football season does not count against a player’s eligibility, so seniors can return.

Additionally, transfers are immediately eligible to play at their new program. The University of Georgia gained a key player from the portal last season in quarterback JT Daniels. Who will the Dawgs get this season? Georgia has seen more players leave the program than transfer to it thus far.

Georgia Bulldogs who have transferred this offseason:

Georgia has solid depth at quarterback with JT Daniels, Stetson Bennett, and Brock Vandagriff.

Stevenson’s transfer is Georgia’s largest transfer loss this offseason. He will be closer to home with the Miami Hurricanes. Georgia is already losing numerous secondary members to the 2021 NFL Draft.

Jermaine Johnson would’ve been arguably Georgia’s best pass rusher in 2021. Instead, he’ll play another senior season for the Florida State Seminoles.

Georgia football tight end picks transfer destination

Georgia Bulldogs tight end Kolby Wyatt is transferring to the Hawaii Rainbow Warriors football program.

Georgia Bulldogs tight end Kolby Wyatt entered the NCAA transfer portal following UGA’s loss to Florida. Now, Kolby Wyatt has decided to transfer to the Hawaii Rainbow Warriors football program. It’s a long ways away from Athens for Wyatt, but he is from San Deigo, California, so he won’t be too far from there.

We wish Wyatt the best at Hawaii. The Rainbow Warriors typically sport an explosive passing offense, so hopefully Wyatt can find significant playing time for Hawaii.

Tre’ McKitty, Darnell Washington and John FitzPatrick have received the majority of playing time at tight end for the Bulldogs this season. Four-star tight end Brock Bowers has additionally committed to Georgia. Wyatt has seen minimal action this season after playing in three games in 2019.

Wyatt, a junior, began his career at UGA as a defensive lineman, but switched numbers and positions last season. He has two years of eligibility left following this season.

College football is projected to have a lot of transfers following this season, so be prepared for more to come.
