Georgia accused of tampering as they attempt to pull off stunning transfer victory

The Transfer Portal madness is already beginning in college football, and Georgia is in the middle of one of the biggest stories. The Florida Gators are a school that is expected to lose a lot of players to the portal because they fired head coach Billy Napier, so it shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone when a Gator does enter the portal. And even though Florida didn't have a great season, they have plenty of talent Georgia could be interested in.

One of those players is running back Jaden Baugh who just ran for over 1,000 yards this season. Baugh hasn't officially enter the portal yet, so other schools techinically are not allowed to contact him, but Georgia has been accussed of tampering with him and trying to convince him to enter the portal.

Georgia is looking to steal another elite RB from Florida

Baugh is coming off an electric season that saw him rack up 1,170 yards and eight touchdowns on 220 carries. That is about as good as it gets in the SEC with the daunting schedule that Florida faced this year.

As mentioned, Baugh has not officially entered the portal yet, but if he does he is someone that would make sense for Georgia to target based on how talented he is. Baugh is also originally from Atlanta, so returning to his home state could make a lot of sense for him as well.

Georgia however doesn't need to add someone like Baugh to their roster for next season. Nate Frazier and Chauncey Bowens are both expected to return for another year, and they are one of the best running back duos in the entire country. But if Baugh wants to come play for Georgia then UGA would be silly to turn him down.

At this point though it is impossible to know if Georgia is tampering with him or not. But even if they are it isn't a big deal. So many program tamper with players every year and the NCAA has proven that they will not punish schools for doing it, so if other schools are doing it then Georgia should too.
