The Transfer Portal can be a very good thing for players when used correctly. Some players are able to revitolize their careers while others are left drowning wishing they never left their first school.
It's impossible to know exactly how someone might feel after they transfer, but it's safe to assume they regretted their original decision if they enter the portal for a second time. And it looks like former Georgia Bulldog AJ Harris might be regretting his decision.
NEW: Penn State DB AJ Harris is expected to enter the NCAA transfer portal, @PeteNakos reports.

Former Georgia Bulldog is regretting his decision to leave Athens
Harris originally came to Georgia as a member of their 2023 recruiting class. He was one of the top recruits in that recruiting class for UGA as he was a five-star player and No. 2 corner in the country. Georgia also stole him out of Alabama, so the hype surrounding him was extremely high.
Harris played a little bit as a true freshman in 2023 as he racked up eight tackles. Unfortunately that is where his career at Georgia ended as he entered the Transfer Portal and headed north to Penn State.
Harris immediately found success with Penn State as he was a third team All-Big Ten selection in 2024. His stats however decreased this past season which coincided with the Nittany Lions rough year that ended with head coach James Franklin being fired during this season.
Harris has now announced that he intends to enter the Transfer Portal once again which could be a sign that he regrets ever leaving Georgia in the first place.
It will be interesting to see where he ends up because it is likely that a lot of schools will want to add him to their roster. Even Georgia could benefit from adding him back on their team as well.
But either way, there is a chance he might be regretting going to Penn State because he was part of one of their worst seasons in program history.
