This unexpected transfer portal entrant has Georgia fans in a total tailspin recently

The transfer portal continues to be an unforgiving beast for a program like the Georgia Bulldogs. While this is the time of the year where players come and go all across the college football landscape, seeing a player or two leave for presumably greener pastures can have fans of the sport wondering what is even going on?! The latest transfer portal entrant for Georgia seems to invoke that feeling...

On3's Hayes Fawcett shared on Wednesday afternoon Joenel Aguero is entering the transfer portal.

Aguero had been a starter on Kirby Smart and Glenn Schumann's defense. He was an integral part of their secondary each of the last three seasons. Fawcett mentions that he had 80 tackles, seven pass breakups, and an interception over the last three years starring Between the Hedges. Aguero has one more year of eligibility, but seems to prefer to exhaust it somewhere else. Georgia needs good news...

What does this new transfer portal entry mean for the state of the Georgia football program in 2026?

While some may argue that Aguero lost his starting job as the season went along, Georgia needs all the help it can get on defense. If one wanted to connect the dots, it may suggest that incoming transfer Khalil Barnes from Clemson may end up taking his starting job. After what we saw transpire last season defensively, Georgia cannot afford to be decimated at any levels of their defense either...

With all signs pointing to Kirby Smart retaining both of his two coordinators of note in Mike Bobo and Glenn Schumann, this is what you sign up for... At their best, they can be among the upper crust in the sport. At their worst, they can be the seminal reasons why Georgia is not playing in later rounds of the College Football Playoff. Bobo took a lot of heat on Jan. 1, but it was Schumann's defense that stunk...

In the end, the end product at Georgia was not apparently good enough. Admittedly, last year's team was a bit too green than we probably ever wanted to admit. The way they responded to coaching had us believing they had all the makings of a national championship contender. To be quite frank, if Smart had better top assistants, maybe the Dawgs are taking on Miami in the Fiesta Bowl tomorrow?

For now, expect for Georgia to make some moves to backfill all of these portal and NFL Draft entries.
