Georgia added its third athlete and first scholarship player in the NCAA’s student-athlete transfer portal.
According to Matt Zenitz of AL.com, sophomore outside linebacker Robert Beal added his name to the portal.
Beal can be recruited by other programs and take official visits to other campuses. According to NCAA rules, he can return to Georgia. Conversely, the Dawgs can revoke his scholarship at this time.
Beal’s playing time in 2019 was greatly reduced by the stellar play of junior redshirt freshman Azeez Ojulari, junior Walter Grant, sophomore Adam Anderson, and true freshman Nolan Smith. After playing in 11 of 14 games as redshirt freshman, Beal only played in four games this past season.
Coming out of Peachtree Ridge High (Suwanee, Ga), Beal was ranked as the No. 11 overall prospect in Georgia, the nation’s No. 107 overall prospect and the No. 8 weak-side defensive end in the 2017 class.
On Wednesday, Georgia saw two reserve players enter the portal as well in WR Josh Moran and RB Prather Hudson, who are both set to graduate on Friday.
