Johnathan Abram played in 10 games as a freshman for Georgia last season.
And then he was gone.
Following the coaching change from Mark Richt to Kirby Smart, Abram decided that his future was somewhere other than Athens.
Now at Jones Junior College in Mississippi, Abram is weighing his options for his next move.
And according to Demetric Warren, one of those options may be a return to Athens:

Given that Abram didn’t really stick around to see what Kirby Smart may have to offer as a head coach, it is possible that Smart could recruit him back to Athens.
At the time his transfer was announced, the prevailing opinion was that Abram had an interest in following former Bulldogs defensive coordinator Jeremy Pruitt to Alabama, where he now holds the same position for the Crimson Tide.
Warren also revealed that Alabama is interested in making that reunion happen:

Warren also tweeted that South Carolina and Mississippi State are among the teams that have extended an offer to Abram.
Abram himself went on Twitter Thursday morning to express his stance of keeping his options open:

It will be interesting to see how this one plays out.
