ATHENS — Jermaine Burton, who would have been Georgia’s leading returning receiver, has entered the NCAA transfer portal on the heels of news JT Daniels is leaving the program.

This hurts. Burton is a very good receiver.
Not sure it’s wise to hire a WR coach who said he supports Burton’s decision to transfer. 🤷♂️
Dang.
Nothing else to say about it, really.
Fans are not "bashing" Bennett. But common sense just has to make a REASONABLE question ask, "why would Jermaine Burton, an almost certain starter, leave the program now, after spending two years in it and winning a National Championship?" If Stetson Bennett is truly that good, wouldn't it be REASONABLE that Burton would want to hang around for what would (likely) be his final year and catch passes from an all-time great? The fact that he's apparently decided not to do that, speaks volumes. I do not think Burton is crazy, so something else has to be at work. I like Bennett and if we don't win a Natty next year, I'll still be over the moon. But that doesn't mean we can't have realistic discussions about his abilities. Go Dawgs!
