Georgia lands big-body WR out of transfer portal, former ACC starter

Georgia landed one of the top wide receivers in the transfer portal Saturday afternoon.

Colbie Young, who entered the portal out of Miami just under 2 weeks ago, committed to Georgia after multiple predictions came out foreshadowing his decision. Young, who stands at 6-5, 210 pounds, spent 2 seasons with the Hurricanes after spending 2021 at Lackawanna college in Scranton, Pennsylvania.

Here’s his post announcing his commitment on Saturday.

Young saw a lot of success at Miami after transitioning to Division 1, choosing Miami over offers from Florida State, Tennessee and more.

Across his past 2 seasons at Miami Young has totaled 79 catches for 930 yards and 10 touchdowns in 22 games. This past season he had 47 receptions for 563 yards and 5 touchdowns, all the 3rd highest marks on the team.

Georgia has now added 3 players out of the portal, 2 of whom are receivers. The Bulldogs also added former Vanderbilt wideout London Humphreys, as well as former South Carolina DL Xzavier McLeod.

Here’s a taste of what you’re getting, Georgia fans:

Love the addition of Miami transfer Colbie Young to Georgia’s WR room.
