Departing Georgia DB Tyrique Stevenson announces transfer to ACC program
Tyrique Stevenson is heading back home.
Less than a week after entering the NCAA transfer portal, the departing Georgia defensive back announced he will be continuing his career at Miami. He shared the news Saturday on his Twitter account.
A native of Homestead, Florida, Stevenson rated 5-stars, the No. 3 cornerback and No. 37 prospect overall nationally in the class of 2019 on the 247Sports Composite. The Hurricanes were among the 29 scholarship offers he received during his initial recruitment coming out of Miami Southridge.
In two seasons at UGA, Stevenson played in 24 games, recording 47 tackles and 10 passes defended. This past season, the sophomore finished fifth on the Bulldogs with 34 tackles, including one for loss.

Hurts still, but at least it’s not a program issue that’s pushing him out. DGD and wish him well.
I couldn’t care less what he does!!!! He goes to the NFL with UGA and Kirby. I wouldn’t bet on it now!!!
Miami committed a flat out NCAA VIOLATION!!!!
It was reported that Miami coaches wouldn’t mind having him. Way before he ever mentioned the Portal. SO YEA THEY WERE TALKING TO HIM ILLEGALLY!!!! IF THE NCAA DOES NOTHING KNOWING THAT. THEN WHY DON’T KIRBY DO THE EXACT SAME????
GO TAKE A FEW OF MIAMI’S BEST PLAYERS!!! By simply saying in the press. WOULDN’T MIND HAVING THIS GUY OR THAT GUY FROM MIAMI!!!
I THINK IT WOULD BE HILARIOUS IF THE 5 STAR 6 FOOT 5 SAFETY THEY BEAT UGA FOR. DECIDED HE DIDN’T LIKE THEM BRINGING STEVENSON IN!!! GET IN THE PORTAL FAST DUDE!!!
PS. Attention all unhappy elite Miami hurricane players. Get in the portal. UGA WOULD LOVE TO HAVE HIGH 4 STARS AND 5 STARS!!! Stevenson you wasted our time and $hit in your nest!!!!

A lot less pressure for him covering ACC receivers and their 5.8 forty times.
He shoulda just committed there to start with.
Why did he transfer? It isn’t like he wasn’t playing and UGA is going to be more successful than Miami.
I’ve been hearing that his family wanted him closer to home. He would have likely had a starting role this year at UGA, but it is what it is. Next man up and hope the D-line can hold serve till this young secondary gets their feet wet.
@Mountain Dog………NO!!!! Not true!!! MIAMI ILLEGALLY TALKED TO HIM. LONG BEFORE HE ENTERED THE PORTAL!!! There coach said it in the media. HE MENTIONED HIM BY NAME!!! Said he wouldn’t mind having him or something to that effect!!
MIAMI COMMITTED AN NCAA VIOLATION PERIOD. WHEN ITS IN THE NEWS A WEEKS BEFORE HE MENTIONED THE PORTAL. THAT IS ABSOLUTELY PROOF!!!! His family might like having him closer. But that is NOT why he went to Miami!!!
MIAMI COACHES FLAT OUT COMMITTED NCAA FRAUD!!!! TALKING TO HIM WAY BEFORE HE EVER MENTIONED THE PORTAL!!!
PS. MIAMI HAS HAD A CRIMINAL REPUTATION FOR AGES. BECAUSE ITS MOSTLY CRIMINALS!!! THEY HAVE BEEN CAUGHT CHEATING SOOOOOOOO MANY TIMES!!!!! BUT REAL CRIME IS NEVER PUNISHED ANYMORE!!!
NCAA WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT THIS??????? It’s not up to them to say. Yea we did it. IT IS EASILY PROVABLE!!! ITS PROVEN THEY BROKE YOUR RULES. NOW LETS SEE WHAT YOU DO ABOUT IT!!!

He’s a baby. That’s why. Well wishes anyway. Who knows with these kids Now days. Don’t want him if he doesn’t want to be here.
Manny Diaz at ScUM is trying to bring back the me culture at Miami. That attracts the kids that are into that behavior. Looks like the kid did jawja a favor.
@Marshgator……..And who are you to talk? It’s spelled GEORGIA!!!! I bet money you didn’t know that.
Stealing 5 star players is not a favor!!! If so I would like your only 5 star DL RECRUIT playing at Georgia. Bet Kirby would not mind. Even though we already have 4!!!! In just the defensive line. Jordan Davis was a 4 star. Not referring to him.
PS. I know you don’t get many. But how would you like it if Georgia took yours?
