BREAKING: Georgia Lands Wide Receiver From Transfer Portal

Georgia football lands former Miami Hurricane wide receiver Colbie Young out of the transfer portal.

The 2023 Georgia football season has come to a close with the 27 to 24 loss to the Alabama Crimson Tide, at least the 2023 version of the roster. With the loss, there will be inevitable NFL Draft Declarations, impending NCAA Transfer Portal entries, and roster movement unlike you've probably seen at this point in the season for the Bulldogs.

However this time it's Georgia adding to their roster from the transfer portal as former Miami Hurricane wide receiver Colbie Young has committed to the Bulldogs. He took a visit to Athens before finally deciding on Georgia while also taking a visit to Penn State as well. Young is the second wide receiver that the Bulldogs have added from the portal. 

Young is coming off his best season at Miami in which he reeled in 47 receptions for 563 and five touchdowns. He will provide some tremendous size for the Bulldogs to utilize in the offense as he is listed as 6-foot-5 on his player profile.
