UNBELIEVABLE: The Georgia bulldogs announced today the names of skillful players that where transferred from…
Fifteen players transferred out of the Georgia football program during the 2023 offseason. Just four players transferred into Georgia.
Kirby Smart and Georgia continue to build the roster via recruiting and development. The Bulldogs have the nation’s No. 1 recruiting class of 2024. Georgia does not rely on incoming transfers as much as other programs. However, the Dawgs do look to add a few quality pieces via the portal each offseason.
Let’s take a look at how Georgia football performed in the transfer portal during the 2023 offseasons
For the second straight season, one of Georgia’s most talented receivers entered the transfer portal after winning a national championship. Adonai Mitchell may have been Georgia’s top receiver had he returned. Instead, Mitchell transferred to Texas.
Georgia fans should remember the clutch College Football Playoff moments from Mitchell’s career and not dwell on the negative
Former Georgia Bulldogs tight end Arik Gilbert, who played his freshman season at LSU, transferred for the second time in his college career. Gilbert transferred to Nebraska in January.
The 6-foot-5, 250-pound tight end has a ton of talent, but was not consistent enough to shine in Georgia’s elite tight end room. Gilbert recorded two catches for 16 yards and a touchdown during two seasons with Georgia.
Former Missouri Tigers All-SEC wide receiver Dominic Lovett transferred to Georgia in December. Lovett recorded 56 receptions for 846 receiving yards and three touchdowns last season with Missouri. He is projected to start for the Dawgs in the fall.
Former Georgia Bulldogs wide receiver Dominick Blaylock transferred to the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets in May. The former four-star recruit hopes to carve a larger role with the Yellow Jackets.
Last season, Blaylock hauled in 15 passes for 227 yards and a touchdown. He came up with a critical catch against Ohio State in the College Football Playoff.
Trezmen Marshall was in the Georgia inside linebacker rotation last year, but will look to start for Alabama. He played some key snaps in the College Football Playoff, especially against Ohio State. He recorded 19 total tackles and a sack in 2022.
Former Georgia Bulldog Jaheim Singletary has a chance to earn immediate playing time for Arkansas. The Razorbacks gave up the most passing yards per game in the SEC last season.
In 2022, Rian Davis played in 14 of 15 games for Georgia. He started in two games and contributed 15 total tackles.
Bear Alexander’s departure hurts Georgia’s defensive line depth. As a true freshman, Alexander recorded nine total tackles and two sacks. Alexander’s best performance came in the national championship game against TCU.
USC was a mess on defense in 2022. If the Trojans want to compete in the playoffs, they must defend at a much higher level
Georgia Bulldogs defensive back Marcus Washington Jr. transferred to Louisville this spring. Washington is a former four-star recruit. In 2022, the 6-foot-1, 185-pound defensive back played in one game and recorded one tackle.
Former Georgia Bulldogs offensive lineman Jacob Hood was one of three Dawgs to transfer to Nebraska. Hood, a former three-star, will have four years of eligibility remaining at Nebraska.
