Georgia Bulldogs head coach Kirby Smart spoke with the media for the first time ahead of Georgia’s SEC championship game against the Texas Longhorns.

Smart answered questions about the status of Georgia redshirt sophomore defensive back Julian Humphrey, who announced his plans to enter the transfer portal on Sunday. Humphrey is Georgia’s No. 3 cornerback at the moment, but has started several games for the Bulldogs this year including UGA’s last game against Texas.

“No status that I’m aware of,” said Smart when asked on Humphreys. “I mean, I saw the same thing you saw. So, we’re worried about the guys that we’re going to go play Texas with.”

The timing of the transfer portal is an absolute nightmare for head coaches. Smart and other college football coaches have the early signing day, conference championship and opening of the transfer portal all within one week. The portal officially opens on Dec. 9.

“I’m not sure of that,” said Smart when asked if Humphrey will be with the team for the Texas game.
