Georgia Lands Long Snapper From Transfer Portal

The Dawgs have landed an extra piece to their special ops unit coming to town for 2024, with a graduate transfer joining them.

Following an exciting Early Signing Day the University of Georgia football program lands another commit. This time the Dawgs go to the portal and nab graduate transfer Beau Gardner. 

Gardner is a long snapper that has spent all four seasons of his collegiate career at UCLA. Coming out of St. Ignatius Prep he was a 3-star center, but transitioned too long snapping primarily at UCLA.

With the Dawgs’ current long snapper William Mote graduating and participating in the Reese’s Senior Bowl, the Dawgs are looking for a quick answer at this position as they develop current 2024 LS commit, Luke Raab.
