Change of plans: Georgia football D-lineman Christen Miller staying with Bulldogs

The Georgia football defensive line depth appeared to take a hit Wednesday when Christen Miller announced he planned to enter the transfer portal. He reversed course by Thursday morning and said he's sticking with the Bulldogs.

"Gotta finish what I started with My bruddas," Miller posted on X, formerly Twitter, with a heart emogi and a #GoDawgs hashtag.

Miller told Hayes Fawcett of On3 that "I'm 100 percent locked in. Go Dawgs."

In this NIL era, decisions can be quickly reversed it seems.

Miller had 14 tackles last season as a redshirt freshman, making four tackles for loss. He played four games as a reserve in 2022.

Miller had a sack last season in the win over Georgia Tech. He had two tackles this month at the G-Day Spring game for the Black team, which featured the frontline defensive players.

The 6-foot-4, 305-pound Miller was a four-star prospect in the 2022 class out of Cedar Grove high.

“He's gotten better with each week,” coach Kirby Smart said in late October before a game with Missouri. “He still hasn't tapped or reached into his potential, but he's getting better. He works hard. He's one of the kids who enjoys taking reps in the scout team against the offense because he wants to go against Sed (center Sedrick Van Pran-Granger). He says, 'Coach, I only get better against the really good offensive line.' So, I love his work ethic."

Two Georgia scholarship players have entered the transfer portal since the end of spring practices: running back Andrew Paul and wide receiver Tyler Williams.
