6’4 225 pound WR from Penn State. Was the #1 wide receiver recruit in America, #8 overall player in the 2018 class.

Big pick up. Will file waiver for immediate eligibility

Fourth five star of the class. Not bad.

Does 247 rank transfers? Seems like they should with how kids use the portal these days.

They have them in the “commit” list, but I don’t think they have an impact in class ranking.

Florida’s class would be ranked a few spots higher if they did.

Hampered by a hamstring injury. Wouldn’t say he sucked.

He had more production than Trevon Grimes before he transferred in, and Grimes turned out to be a heck of a player.

Not a good look when your own head coach describes you as “a cheeseburger away from 250”

If you frickers are just gonna troll every thread, get the frick out of here.

Every fricking thread on this board is being ruined by UGA fans. This board actually used to be something legit were there was legit football discussion and no fricking trolling.

Someone asked why he transferred. It certainly wasn’t because he was a Heisman finalist and tired of catching so many passes. Not my fault his former head coach described him that way.

Kids put in the portal so often and at all times of the year it would be a daunting thing to reevaluate and rerank all of them.

And you used a single quote from Spring of 2019, basically after the season where he was just limited to 4 games because of a hamstring, as a "reason he transferred".

It’s in an article titled ‘What happened with Justin Shorter’. You already mentioned the hamstring, this looks like another contributing factor. I have no idea where his weight is now or where it will be when he plays in 2020 or 2021.

Yeah, except go read any UGA thread and you'll see others just trolling the shite out of ours. It's what the admins have allowed on what once use to be a great board.

Yeah he doesn't look 250 in that pic, regardless he'll have a whole off season in what has proven to be a good s&c program, so I assume if he has any work ethic at all he'll be good to go by Fall 2020, assuming he gets a waiver, but who knows on that.

Shorter was a little chunky at PSU but he could be a very good player for Florida as he continues to trim down. By the looks of this pic he looks thinner than when I saw him at PSU earlier this season.

Nice pick up
