The Georgia Bulldogs may be looking for the next great transfer quarterback this off-season. With Jake Fromm potentially entering into the NFL Draft after the Sugar Bowl, Georgia must be prepared to pursue all options this off-season. As it currently stands, four-star QB commit Carson Beck is set to be the favorite for Georgia’s starting job if Fromm heads to the NFL.
Georgia has lost their fair share of QBs to the transfer portal over the years, but is it time for UGA to go into the portal to secure a talented passer? It’d give Beck one year to develop and learn the system before starting. Beck wouldn’t have to start at Alabama early next season.
If Fromm doesn’t return, Kirby Smart may want to pursue Wake Forest’s Jamie Newman. Newman helped lead Wake Forest to a 9-5 season. He put up impressive numbers last season:
Other talented QBs in the portal include: K.J. Costello (Stanford), Feleipe Franks (Florida, no thanks), Justin Rogers (TCU), and Jack Allison (West Virginia). Who will be the next transfer to be a Heisman contender? The best bet would be Wake Forest’s Jamie Newman.
As for now, it is only speculation on where is next for Newman. UGA may not need a QB next season with either Fromm or Beck. Regardless, Georgia could use a back-up.
