Georgia football has seen a lot of roster movement in the last week, and while that is normal, it’s time for head coach Kirby Smart and the staff to find a way to keep some of these key underclassmen from transferring.
With Jermaine Burton being the latest to announce he was leaving, the Dawgs need to sit down with its team and talk.
Communication and finding out exactly what players need to stick around is essential.
Transfers happen to every team, but the Dawgs just won a national title, so finding a way to keep as many playmakers as possible from that squad would be helpful.
Georgia football needs to keep these three underclassmen around and away from the portal.
It’s important for the Dawgs to keep younger players from transferring because that is how you keep building good depth and teams that are so connected. Georgia was able to win a national championship for a multitude of reasons, but one of the biggest is because they played as one.
The Dawgs need to figure out what these youngsters want out of a program and try to make that happen. These players chose Georgia for a reason, so if the Dawgs can help them feel better about anything, then they should.
Georgia has 10 guys in the transfer portal right now, and while those numbers are neither great nor bad, the Dawgs just need to make sure they know what the players need and stay transparent with them. We’re speculation and not suggesting that any of the three players mentioned on this list will transfer, but they are guys the Dawgs need to put top priority on in keeping.
