The landscape of the SEC East may have just shifted on Wednesday as Jamie Newman has made the decision to opt-out for the 2020 season according to multiple reports.

Newman’s plan is to leave Georgia and start preparing for the 2021 NFL Draft, he will not return to suit up for the Bulldogs in 2021.

The former Wake Forest signal-caller transferred into Georgia this offseason and was immediately hailed by many as the savior of the new offense following the hire of coordinator, Todd Monken.

Now Newman leaves Athens without ever suiting up for the Bulldogs in a game.

Just when you think you’ve seen it all in 2020, something like this happens.

As expected, there has been quite a reaction to the news:
