Former Georgia DB Julian Humphrey announces he’s transferring to new SEC school
ATHENS — Julian Humphrey was the first Georgia player to enter the transfer portal. He is now the first former Bulldog to find a new home.

have fun
The TP is broken. I fully support it, but the timing is WAY off, not just for UGA. Letting people transfer before the CFP even starts, much less ends, is just crazy. I have no idea how CKS (and others) can plan and practice for the CFP, recruit in the TP, recruit outside the TP, deal with existing players, deal with the facts and media around departures, and a host of other day-to-day activities... right in the middle of the holidays!
While I hope it's not the case, I fear this madness will impact UGA the most vs the rest in the CFP. We already were the most "wounded" we've been as a team in a while and pretty shallow at many positions.
If CKS pulls this off (fingers crossed!), he will undoubtedly be heralded as one of the greatest coaches of all time, IMHO
Wish you well Julian, you're back home…… you didn't make it as a DGD, but I'm sure you'll make it as an Aggie…..Ball Out and Horns Down!
Happy for him. If he ever learns to track the ball and turn his head he has the other skills to be an NFL corner.
Too much competition here and I've heard the other guys behind Harris are getting better Ondre and Ellis. So his window was closing here. Feel bad for him and he will be missed. Pretty sure we will see him in 2 years when we finally play TAMU at their place.
Good luck dude you will be missed.
I don't miss players who decide to abandon their team in the middle of the season. Good riddance.
I also understand how screwed up the portal system is which is not the fault of any player so I extend some grace to this young man. Plus, I get that it's a business decision. But, he won't be missed by me, and I think he's demonstrated qualities unbecoming in a Dawg.
He may fit the culture of Texas Ambition and Money better.
Just my opinion of course.
Go, Dawgs!
I do not blame young players for "returning home." I do when they leave in the midst of the championship battle. The portal should not be opened so soon! However, having said that, Julian's heart had already abandoned Georgia for Texas. He was being slowly out hustled in his position….maybe he will do better with A&M?
He has a chance to be a Sunday player. He will need every bit of those 2 years to do it. The game needs to slow down for him and he needs to shed the DB yips. That he is leaving in the middle of a playoff run tells you everything you need to know about him. Not really sorry to see him go.
Best of luck young man..no big loss for UGA with more talented DB'S on the roster..GoDAWGS!
Do we play A&M within next two years? If so, we know where to throw to.
the TP has to be open before January 1 to allow for STUDENTS to register for classes. Unfortunately the sport has morphed into more money less classes and doesn’t feel like it fits into a schools academic calendar.
Good for him, he gets to play closer to home. Hopefully he'll have a great game vs Utx next year
I'm only sorry to see him go because we're not deep at his position. Otherwise, I wish him the best. I don't blame him at all for doing what he believes is in his best interest by hitting the TP early.
The fault rests entirely on the NCAA for opening the TP while the season isn't over.
It distorts decision-making in too many bad ways to count. One of those is that it creates an incentive to make to abandon your team when you're most needed. Another is that it causes roster changes in the midst of the tournament — precisely when you want the best versions of all teams to be playing each other.
Part of growing up is making difficult choices. But it's plain wrong to create a landscape that unnecessarily creates a dilemma for players who would otherwise play their hearts out and declare for TP after the tournament.
This was Julian all year, burnt toast!
Simple solution: Transfers only happen in the spring so transferring players don't get to go to spring practice.
In addition to ending this **** predicament for players on tournament teams who want to transfer, it would serve as a bit of speed bump on transfers-gone-wild.
I suppose it could be challenged as a restriction on a player's ability to get value for his services. But there are ways around that problem — if only the powers at the NCAA focused — and thought things through for a change.
But, but, but….he has a chance to play on Sundays, we are happy for him abandoning his teammates, to hell with perserverence, good for him to ball out for the aggies when he couldn't do it here, we should wish him well, etc. All said below. Tired of this crap. TP is really another abbreviation for toilet paper which is needed to clean up this….well you know
