Georgia's wide receiver room is going to look much different next season. The Bulldogs lost four of their top pass catchers to the NFL Draft which included one of the best receivers Georgia has ever seen in Zachariah Branch.
Georgia however has added one receiver from the portal and has a lot of young talent ready to take on a much larger role. So at this point Georgia has considered their wide receiver room full.
But they may have no choice but to target another receiver in the portal who could be very interested in coming to Athens as well.
Ole Miss wide receiver Cayden Lee is considered likely to enter the transfer portal, a source tells @CBSSports.

Georgia could be forced to add another WR from the Transfer Portal
Late Friday night reports began to circulate that Ole Mis wide receiver Cayden Lee could be entering the Transfer Portal. If he does he would immediately become one of the top wide receivers in the Transfer Portal, and Georgia would be wise to aggressively pursue him.
Lee just wrapped up his third season with the Rebels where he recorded 44 receptions for 645 yards and three touchdowns. He also had a really good sophomore season in 2024 that saw him tally 53 receptions, 874 yards and two touchdowns.
A lot of teams will be interested in Lee if he enters the portal, but Georgia is a school he could be extremely interested in. Lee is originally from the state of Georgia, so a return to his home state could make a lot of sense for him.
Lee will also be able to see what Georgia did with Branch last year in his one and only season with the program, and that clearly should raise any wide receiver's eyebrows.
It will be interesting to see if Georgia does pursue Lee or not. As mentioned, Georgia's wide receiver room is full for next season, but when an in-state player that is as talented as Lee becomes available UGA doesn't have much of a choice but to pursue.
