Highlights: Incoming UGA football transfer WR Colbie Young

Georgia football earned a commitment from top transfer wide receiver Colbie Young this offseason. Young is the No. 8 wide receiver in the transfer portal and the No. 38 transfer in the country, per 247Sports.

The former Miami Hurricanes wide receiver has excellent size and is tough to tackle after the catch. Young is good at making contested catches and has the ability to high-point the football. Young, who is entering his fourth season of college football in 2024, will be a security blanket for quarterback Carson Beck.

The 6-foot-5, 215-pound wide receiver should compete for a starting spot right away in the Georgia offense. Young could help replace Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint in the Georgia passing attack. Young will take some time to get up to speed in Georgia’s scheme.
