You don’t need to rely on the transfer portal as much to assemble your team’s roster when you’re as talented as Georgia football, with a
natural knack for recruiting success and three straight top-three classes over the last four years. Head coach Kirby Smart typically uses
the gateway for noteworthy additions when he does use it, though.
Smart hopes to put Georgia back in the running for a national championship in 2024, despite the fact that the Bulldogs football team
lost out on a three-peat and another title in 2023. This is even with the new playoff structure. It will be very beneficial to have the top
recruiting class of 2024, but there were other important portal players who may have an effect and possibly help Georgia win the
national championship in their home state the following year.
Georgia football, ranked No. 13, has seven players entering their 2024 portal class while losing a staggering twenty. The truly
astounding thing about those seven, though, is that three of them are SEC transfers, and five of them are four-star transfers from
Power Five teams.
Still, one of the more noteworthy and devious transfers isn’t even from the SEC. Colbie Young, a wide receiver for the Miami
Hurricanes, is an ACC product.
Colbie Young, a wide receiver, joins Georgia football.
Even though Georgia football has been excellent, Dawgs Daily reports that there has only been one 1,000-yard receiver in the
program’s history, Terrence Edwards, who had 1,004 yards in 2002. Not even Brock Bowers or AJ Green have accomplished it.
Speaking of Bowers, despite missing five games due to an ankle ailment, he led the Bulldogs in receptions in 2023 with 56 receptions,
714 yards, and six touchdowns as a tight end. If not for the injury, Bowers might have exceeded his 2022 season total of 63 receptions,
942 yards, and seven touchdowns.
Dominic Lovett, who with 51 receptions for 575 yards and three touchdowns, was the next closest receiver to him. Bowers is going to
the NFL, so someone has to
According to 247sports, Young, a four-star transfer to Georgia, was rated No. 48 overall and No. 8 among wide receivers.
As a three-star junior college talent, this will technically be Young’s second transfer; he originally attended Lackawanna College, a
junior college located in Scranton, Pennsylvania. He hauled in 24 catches for 472 yards and nine scores throughout that game. Then,
in his two years at Miami, he caught 79 passes for 930 yards with 10 touchdowns, averaging 11.8 yards per catch. In spite of
quarterback injuries and other problems that plagued the Hurricanes’ passing game during the second half of the previous season,
Young caught 47 receptions for 563 yards, demonstrating progress from his rookie campaign in Coral Gables.
