Former Georgia Tight End Announces Transfer Destination

Former Georgia tight end Arik Gilbert has announced he will transfer to Nebraska.

Former Georgia tight end Arik Gilbert announced back in December that he would be entering the transfer portal after two seasons with the team. He has now announced his commitment to Nebraska to continue his collegiate carer. 

He will be following newly hired head coach Matt Rhule and former teammate MJ Sherman who also entered the transfer portal and announced he will be headed to Nebraska for the 2023 season. 

The former LSU tight end turned Georgia Bulldog appeared in just three games this fall after having a spring game that turned heads within the fanbase and national media. There were even projections of GIlbert being a first-round draft pick after the season. 

Gilbert was a five-star tight end prospect out of Marrietta High School in the 2020 signing class. The highest-rated tight end ever, Gilbert was the first tight end to win the Gatorade Player of the Year award. An unbelievably gifted athlete who can hopefully get back into stride with his new team.
