The Georgia Bulldogs have landed the top transfer quarterback in the country: Wake Forest’s Jamie Newman. UGA lost Justin Fields and Jacob Eason during the Kirby Smart era, so it is about time the Dawgs landed a talented transfer QB of their own.
Newman scored 32 total touchdowns last season and is a talented deep ball thrower. Newman had talented receivers at Wake Forest, but it’s not the same as Georgia’s deep, talented offensive attack.
Newman made his transfer announcement official via Twitter:
Let’s take a look back at Newman’s 2019 season at Wake Forest. Newman helped the Demon Deacons go 8-5 en route to an appearance in the New Era Pinstripe Bowl.
Highlight video is per Stadium:
Newman’s deep passing certainly stands out. He also has the wheels to be forced to be accounted for in the run game. Teams can no longer discount the QB when UGA runs the football. Newman had pretty solid protection on most of his accurate deep throws.
His receivers were certainly no slouches. Sage Surratt is extremely talented and had over 1,000 yards receiving on the season. Georgia’s offensive line will be key in 2020, following the loss of starters, UGA will be cut out for itself trying to block the elite defensive lines of the SEC.
