ATHENS - UGA Football cornerback Julian Humphrey announced on social media today that he plans to enter the transfer portal.
This transfer comes at a critical spot for Kirby Smart and the Bulldogs as Georgia is just six days away from a rematch with Texas in the SEC Championship Game.
Humphrey, the redshirt sophomore, was a starter for most of the season opposite Daylen Everette until the last few weeks. Sophomore Daniel Harris had firmly taken control of the second cornerback spot after rotating at the spot with Humphrey for the majority of the season.
Smart has recently praised Harris for how much better he has been practicing over the last month. The head coach has been pretty obvious all year about how the young cornerbacks have struggled, and with Harris’ improvement, Humphrey has seen far fewer snaps.
Humphrey finished the season with 10 total tackles and four pass deflections. Georgia has allowed explosive touchdowns all season, and Humphrey was in coverage for a handful of them, including some in key moments like against Ryan Williams’ game-winner. Every Georgia secondary member has been guilty of allowing a score or two this season, however.
The third-year corner completes his Georgia career with 21 total tackles and no interceptions.
Georgia will likely look to 5-star true freshman cornerback Ellis Robinson IV to rotate in with the starters moving forward. Georgia has already called on true freshmen KJ Bolden and Chris Cole to play in significant downs this season.
