In an event to make it easier for everyone to keep up with the Transfer Portal, we are starting a thread with this post that we will continually update for as long as we need to until the first window closes on January 18.
When there are updates to be made - new players coming, Georgia players leaving, we will signify with a new time stamp in the title.

Rivals transfer tracker

Monday, Dec. 5

There's been no movement so far today as far as any Georgia players are concerned. However, there are a couple of names to keep an eye on as far as players we believe Coach Smart and his staff have some interest in.

WR RaRa Thomas (Mississippi State): At 6-2 and 205 pounds, Thomas caught 44 passes for 626 yards and seven touchdowns for MSU. In Georgia's win over the Maroon, he caught two passes for 23 yards.

WR Nate McCollom (Georgia Tech): At 5-11 and 184 pounds, McCollom caught 60 passes for 655 yards and three touchdowns last year for the Yellow Jackets. Against Georgia, he caught six passes for 65 yards.

OL Myles Hinton (Stanford): We do not believe Georgia is currently focused on Hinton, but he is not being ruled out. Smart said Sunday in regard to transfers, that whomever they take will be someone the staff already knows, someone who has camped at Georgia, or both. Hinton fits both of those bills.

DL Justin Flowe: Georgia was a finalist when he committed to Oregon. The former five-star is going to get a lot of attention in the portal, just not from the Bulldogs.

DE Elijah Jeudy: Jeudy was committed to Georgia for a while before decommitting and going to Texas A&M. But he hasn't played out there and Georgia won't be going after him again.

12-5 (3:20) WR Dominic Lovett: Former Missouri WR is 5-10, 179 and led the Tigers in catches with 56 for 846 yards and three touchdowns. We understand the Bulldogs are interested. He was offered by Georgia out of high school.

12-5 (6:11) CB Tony Grimes: Entered the portal from North Carolina but Georgia is likely not going after him. He was one of the top-rated corners in the nation and UGA wanted him. He reclassified and went a year early. Has not played up to his ranking.

12-5 (10:20) TE Jaheim Bell: The South Carolina star is in the portal but it looks like UGA will take a pass here. FSU could likely be the destination.

12-6 (4:30) WR Dante Cephas: Georgia has offered the transfer portal WR from Kent State. Cephas caught 48 passes for 744 yards and 3 touchdowns for the Golden Flashes. Against Georgia, he had 3 receptions for 25 yards. Todd Monken is seeing Cephus on Wednesday.

12-7 (11:15): DL Bill Norton became the first Bulldog to enter the portal. Norton played in all 13 games for Georgia in a backup role, making three tackles, including one for a loss of 2 yards.


12-7 (12:45): Georgia is going to see RaRa Thomas today (Thursday).
More to come when info is warranted.

12-9 (3:00): Tech WR Nate McCollom officially in the portal. As we mentioned, Georgia expected to take a look here.

12-9 (3:09): We're hearing that Georgia is interested in South Florida kicker Spencer Shrader. Shrader was 9 of 13 last year for the Bulls. The 2023 season would be his "Covid" year.

12-9 (3:10): Georiga is also showing interest in Kent State wide receiver Devontez Walker. Bulldog fans will recall Walker had seven catches for 106 yards and a touchdown catch of 56 yards against the Bulldogs this year. At Kent, Walker (6-3, 191) caught 58 passes for 921 yards and 11 touchdown last season.

12-10 (11:03): Per his Instagram page, RaRa Thomas is in Athens tonight.

12-13 (8:57): I understand Rara Thomas’ trip went extremely well. He’s still got visits to make, however and is expected to make his decision at or around Christmas. Right now, I’m expecting Georgia to take two receivers with Thomas at the top of their wish list.

12:14 (11:30): Missouri wide receiver Dominic Lovett is expected to visit Georgia on Thursday.

12-14 (4:27): Texas A&M cornerback Smoke Bouie entered the portal. Initially, it did not appear the Bulldogs were interested, but later in the evening it appears that they are.

12-14 (4:33): RaRa Thomas posted the following picture on his Instagram page.



12-14 (7:50): Understand the Bulldogs are not going after RB Marshawn Lloyd

12-15 (2:13): Understand that Dominic Lovett of Missouri is on campus.

12-16 (8:18): Kentucky OL Kiyaunte Goodwin has entered the portal but we understand that Georgia is not interested.

12-18: (5:30): Mississippi State wide receiver Rara Thomas visited Auburn over the weekend.

12-18 (6:10): Texas A&M cornerback Smoke Bouie is visiting Georgia today (Sunday). He was the only player in the portal visiting today.

12-18 (7:47): Former Bulldog defensive lineman Bill Norton announced on Twitter he is headed to Arizona.

12-19 (10:00): Confirmed that Georgia is interested in cornerback Travis Hunter, who put his name in the portal Monday.

12-20 (8:00): Georgia tight end Arik Gilbert is in the transfer portal.

12-20 (11 pm): Travis Hunter announced he’s following Deion Sanders to Colorado.
