ATHENS - Demetris Robertson, a Savannah native entering his sixth and final year or eligibility of college football, is leaving the Georgia Bulldogs

Robertson is headed to the transfer portal. That’s according to a report from Jake Rowe at 247Sports. Dawg Post has not confirmed the report. UGA officials didn’t respond to our attempt to confirm the news. Insiders tell us that Robertson was at practice on Thursday.

Robertson’s departure would mean the Bulldogs are losing a veteran receiver, but one with limited production during his time at Georgia. Robertson’s career at UGA will end with 43 receptions for 443 yards with three receiving touchdowns. 

Robertson’s departure also means he will likely dress out for the third college program in his six-year college run. The former 5-star player from Savannah picked Cal over the Bulldogs, Alabama and Notre Dame in the spring of 2016 at the College Football Hall of Fame. 

Robertson got in trouble in Athens earlier this spring. UGA police issued an arrest warrant earlier this year due to Robertson allegedly removing a parking boot at the East Campus Parking Deck in February.

The move comes days after the Bulldogs added former five-star WR Arik Gilbert transferred from LSU to Kirby Smart’s Georgia program. Robertson was one of four players returning for an additional senior season at Georgia. Justin Shaffer, Devonte Wyatt and Julian Rochester are set to return for another final season this fall.
