Georgia football suffered arguably the biggest loss in the Transfer Portal last offseason. Former UGA quarterback Carson Beck made the shocking decision this time last year to transfer to Miami, and that was something that no one saw coming.
Georgia ended up being fine without him as they went on to win the SEC, but losing Beck at the time was not fun.
Fast forward to this offseason and rumors are beginning to swirl of another departure that would be just as shocking and impactful as Beck.
Nate Frazier rumors are the last thing Georgia needs
One of Georgia's best players this season was running back Nate Frazier. There were countless games where he put the team on his back and helped carry them to victory, and his success this past season has led to everyone at Georgia being excited for what's to come next season.
Frazier however has not publicly announced that he will be back at Georgia next year and rumors are circulating that he could enter the Transfer Portal.
It's impossible to state how big of a loss this would be for Georgia. Frazier finished the season just shy of 1,000 yards as he racked up 947 yards and six touchdowns on 173 carries. He also had dominant showings in a few games as well, most notably when he ran for 181 yards against Mississippi State. He was set to have an even bigger season next year as a junior, but that may not be occurring at Georgia anymore.
Frazier hasn't entered the Transfer Portal yet, but it sounds like there is a chance he does. And if he does it Ohio State could be the team he lands with.
Kirby Smart and his staff have to do everything they can to keep Frazier in Athens. Georgia does have Chauncey Bowens who will return to their backfield for another season, but he can't do it alone. He needs Frazier with him so Georgia can have one of the best running back duos in the country.
But there is a chance that doesn't happen next season, and losing Frazier would feel a lot like losing Beck last year.
