Norton is a darned good football player. He performed well for "The G", during his time at UGA. I hope he finds a suitable home. The guy can flat out play. If he couldn't, he would've been "gone", a long time ago.
Speaking of good football players... What do ya think the odds are, that JT Daniels finds his way back to Athens? I'll give 5:1 odds on that.
4:1 on Daniels to A&M and............ 2:1 Daniels to BAMA/TENN/LSU/FLA/KENTUCKY
I don't think he ends up in the SEC. I'll be surprised if he ends up at Power5 tbh.
Can't blame these young men buried on the depth chart. They only have so many years to play. For some, it is their last opportunity to play the game of football in their lifetime instead of riding the bench at their current place. For others, it is their last opportunity to impress pro scouts. Some flourish elsewhere where they get on the field more, others dont. As long as they don't disparage UGA, I can't blame them and wish them the best of luck.
Why should Norton be allowed to remain with the team? He has publicly stated that he no longer wishes to be a Dawg, so give him his wish. It is a long-held maxim that "that which must be done eventually, should be done immediately." Let him go on to his "greener pastures" before his attitude infects the rest of the team. We don't need him. We've 100 more lined up who will be glad to take his place. He'll never be a DGD.
(JK, except I do think he may as well leave now. But I'm sure Norton is a good kid who just is looking for a reset on his football career. There is NOTHING wrong with that and, like Justin Fields, I really do wish him the best. I was just repeating the vitriol earlier that some other Dawg fans had spewed about previous transfers).
Good luck, young man!
Did what was asked of him for four years….unfortunately he was recruited at a time when we had/have generational depth.
No shame at all in owning up to this.
I wish him well and truly hope he lands somewhere to be able to finish out his career!
Go Dawgs!
