Checking on Georgia football transfers ahead of Week 11
Georgia football transfers continue to make an impact across college football.
Former Georgia Bulldogs Adonai Mitchell, Trezmen Marshall and Jermaine Burton still have a shot to win their respective conferences and make the College Football Playoff. Georgia is expected to play against Marshall and Burton in the SEC championship game.
USC defensive tackle Bear Alexander and LSU defensive back Major Burns both suffered defeats in Week 10 to end their hopes of making the College Football Playoff.
Georgia lost 15 players to the NCAA transfer portal during the 2023 offseason. The Dawgs lost additional talent throughout the 2021 and 2022 transfer windows, but did not add many transfers. How are Georgia football transfers performing through 10 weeks and ahead of Week 11?
