Georgia basketball adds FAU transfer Jailyn Ingram

The Georgia basketball program has landed a transfer in shooting forward Jailyn Ingram. At 6-foot-7, Ingram provides some much needed size for Tom Crean and the Georgia Bulldogs.

The Dawgs have lost a few key rotational player this week to the NCAA transfer portal. Jailyn Ingram has five years of college basketball experience.

Ingram, who is from Madison, Georgia, joined the FAU Owls basketball program in 2016. He’s played in 122 career college basketball games and gives Georgia some experience. The Bulldogs can use his scoring as well.

Jailyn Ingram averaged 12.4 points and 6.0 rebounds per game last season. Ingram will be immediately eligible at Georgia and should have a large role on the team.

In Dec. 2018, Ingram suffered a torn ACL, which forced him to miss the rest of the 2018-2019 college basketball season. Ingram’s injury granted him another year of NCAA eligibility and is how he will be playing in a sixth college basketball season in 2021-2022.
