Georgia is unfortunately in offseason mode after losing to Ole Miss in the College Football Playoff. That means it is time to put all of their attention on the Transfer Portal as Kirby Smart and his staff look to make their team stronger before next season.

While they are on the prowl looking to add more talent out of the portal, Georgia unfortunately has lost a few players to the Transfer Portal already.

Georgia survives Day 1 of 2026 Transfer Portal

While it is never good to see any players decide to up and leave Georgia, for the most UGA survived the first day of the portal season. None of the seven players who entered the portal on Friday made much of an impact on the team this season. Out of the seven players to enter the portal corner Daniel Jones is the player who has played the most at Georgia, but he lost his starting job and was no longer playing that much.

Georgia is yet to earn a commitment from a transfer, but they are after a few big name players. USC's Devan Thompkins is the No. 2 defensive lineman in the portal and Georgia is one of five schools he is showing interest in. Georgia is also going after Penn State transfer Chaz Coleman as well.

It is just a matter of time until more Bulldogs enter the portal. Georgia fans learned last year just impactful the Transfer Portal can be because they arguably had the biggest loss in the country when Carson Beck shockingly made the move to Miami. So that should be a lesson to everyone that anything is possible this time of the year, and that can be both good and bad for Georgia.
