Georgia Bulldogs defensive back Tyrique Stevenson entered the NCAA transfer portal earlier this offseason. Now, Stevenson is transferring to the Miami Hurricanes football program.
Last season at Georgia, Stevenson saw action in all 10 games, leading the team in pass breakups and finishing 5th in tackles. Stevenson’s best play of the season came in the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl, when he defected a fourth down pass to give Georgia’s offense an opportunity to win the game.
Stevenson’s transfer is a big loss for the Georgia secondary that is losing a lot of talent to the 2021 NFL Draft. Defensive backs Eric Stokes, Tyson Campbell, Richard LeCounte and DJ Daniel have all declared for the draft.
Now, cornerbacks Kelee Ringo, Latavious Brini, Jalen Kimber, Ameer Speed, and Nyland Green will need to step up. Georgia fans should anticipate Kirby Smart pursuing a transfer at the position.
We wish Tyrique Stevenson luck with the Miami Hurricanes, where he should be an instant impact player. He’s former four-star recruit out of Miami Southridge High School in Miami. He wanted to be closer to home and now he gets his wish.
