Georgia DL Jonathan Jefferson enters transfer portal

The Georgia Bulldogs will be looking for help along the defensive line. Georgia defensive end Jonathan Jefferson has entered the NCAA transfer portal. Georgia could lose Nazir Stackhouse and Warren Brinson to the 2024 NFL draft, so Georgia may look to the transfer portal or junior college to add an experienced option along the defensive front.

Jonathan Jefferson signed with Georgia as a four-star recruit in the class of 2021. Jefferson played high school football for Douglas County High School in Douglasville, Georgia.

The 6-foot-3, 295-pound defensive lineman played in seven games in 2023. Jefferson recorded one tackle against Kentucky this season, but did not see a ton of snaps on a regular basis.

How did the media and some of Jefferson’s Georgia teammates react after the redshirt sophomore entered the transfer portal?
