I'd be shocked if it isn't a graduate transfer.

KJ Costello from Stanford would be my best guess. I assume they'll try and make a run at Jamie Newman from Wake Forest.

They just had another player hit the transfer portal, too. Former 5-star OT Cade Mays.

How many linemen are gone now for them? Didnt they have some other ones graduate or leave early?

That would basically be 4 of their 5 offensive linemen leaving - everyone except the center.

They could be in serious trouble next year if they don't hit on a transfer QB.

Yikes.

Losing Pittman is taking its toll isn’t it?

The only one out there who really seems like a big get is Jamie Newman from Wake Forest. The next guys are line are pretty underwhelming : KJ Costello from Stanford, Anthony Brown from Boston College and Feleipe Franks. That's about it as of now.

What grad transfer in their right mind would go to a place where the whole line is gone.

Kirby and O going to have to pay a premium to get one

Kirby is finding out how difficult it is to maintain. Would be great if they lose to Bama, Tennessee, and Florida.

If they had to play a game next week I suspect the starter would be Stetson Bennett, the trash time guy this year. They have 2 freshman on the roster in D’Wan Mathis and Nathan Priestley but I’m not sure either of them have taken a college snap.

Who is basically their Brandon Avalos. There is no shot he ever starts a game.

I'm not even sure Mathis is back practicing yet is he after his brain tumor? Pretty sure Priestley was a walk on.

Their 2020 starter will be a grad transfer, it just depends who it is.

They do have Carson Beck inbound. Both Fromm and Eason started there as true freshman. But grad transfer has to lead the odds.

Any chance this means Najee may be leaning towards coming back?

Obviously the RB room is pretty full regardless of whether Najee returns, but...maybe?

UGA people on their board were speculating he may never be cleared to play, because they actually had to open up his skull as opposed to just drilling holes. No clue myself about any of this, just read it on their board. They were thinking that was why it was so important to sign a 2nd QB this and before they were officially out on the California QB they made a late push for.
