Bear Alexander to enter transfer portal
The transfer portal re-opened on Saturday and Georgia has already seen one player enter the portal, as talented defensive tackle Bear Alexander put his name into the portal.

Did not see that one coming, makes you wonder if one of those Texas schools have opened up their wallets. Or someone else.
WOW. This makes ZERO sense. Most folks assume he'd take Carter's spot at DL. Did the coaches say something to him? I don't see how he'd find a better situation than where he is now. Hopefully, he will end up staying.
I'll add a second Wow to this. There's got to be more to it than a simple PT issue. Makes absolutely no sense at face value.
Somebody’s giving him some bad intel. Be careful what you hope/look for…you might not like what you find.
He should ask Burton how green those other pastures are...
Fellow Dawg fans can try and spin this how you want, but this is terrible news.
It hurts depth on the DL both this year AND next year, it hurts overall experience coming back this season and will hurt even more for next season.
Alexander has played over 150+ snaps against not only top notch SEC competition, but also in 2 playoff games against the top 4 teams in college football.
losing that type of experience is going to hurt in e one way, shape, or form over the next 2 seasons.
Sad news to hear.
I don’t play that “good luck to him wherever he goes” nonsense.
Clearly not a loyal Dawg and a waste of starting time and training and education given to a player that doesn’t appreciate the true meaning of being a Georgia BullDawg and isn’t proud to represent the state of Georgia and the University of Georgia.
Good riddance.
On the face of it this sounds like bad news for him and our team.
Go, Dawgs, thrive on adversity!
Had a feeling about this guy early on.....voila....off he goes. Very self-centered and not a true Dawg. It might be NIL? He was open to replace Jalen. What more could he want in playing time? Might be $$$. USC looking at him already. Prestigious, high profile school with $$$. Or, maybe Bobo made changes Bear did not like? Rotation. He is making an unwise move IMO. We'll soon see. Does not appear to be a Mims scenario. Kid seems serious. Sometimes we have to mature the hard way. Tough loss for UGA. Very much so....but UGA will survive without him...rely on it.
Playing time......I call BS on that. More PT means a greater chance of injury which means NO PT. Bear was in a perfect scenario being a TEAM player.....if indeed he is chasing NIL money I have to tell him that the REAL money was sticking with the Dawgs, put in the work and develop and being a first round draft pick......**** is as **** does apparently not COMMITTED TO THE G.
Well, he didn’t even know our school colors when he was being recruited. Prefer he stayed, but if you’re not in 100% it’s best to move on. I only want the guys who are 100% Dawg. Obviously, he’s not even 50% Dawg.
I certainly agree with this who have said this makes zero sense, because, well, it makes zero sense. In fact, it’s downright idiotic imo. But maybe there’s something we don’t know which could make this a sensible move.
Commit to the G, de-commit from the G, re-commit to the G, transfer from the G.
Sherman only burned Georgia once.
Kirby is already looking for or already targeted a replacement between now and the end of April
guess he doesn't want to develop to be a first round draft pick. Oh well, his loss.
I guess he will have to remove that "G" tattoo from his arm.
I want guys who are dedicated to the University of Georgia, and who aren't afraid of the extremely hard work required to play here. I want guys who understand that when a coach chews you out, it's nothing personal- only trying to make you a better player. Some guys get their feelings hurt way too easily, and some simply can't cut it here. I think that's why a lot of these guys leave. They don't want to put in all the hard work. Time wasters, is what they are! Georgia is about winning championships, not babysitting. Be all in, or be gone!
GO DAWGS!
What can you do about ignorance? Last two drafts UGA DL go in 1st round. Go figure.
Yeah. Removing that G ain’t going to feel good.
Maybe his goal is to play for the packers.
