Georgia used the transfer portal to nab another wide receiver, reeling in Miami’s Colbie Young, according to a social media post by Young on Saturday.

“Thank you Miami coaches and teammates for everything,” Young wrote on his Instagram account. “Y’all made the experience amazing and I’m extremely grateful. Thank you to my agent, family, friends, etc. for supporting me through this decision. With that being said I have decided to transfer and am committing to (the) University of Georgia.”

A sizeable receiver at 6-foot-5 and 215 pounds, Young is a junior who will have one season of eligibility left.

At Miami this year, Young caught 47 passes for 563 yards and five touchdowns. In two seasons with the Hurricanes, Young notched 79 receptions for 930 yards and 10 touchdowns.

Young joins fellow wide receiver London Humphreys, who joined the Bulldogs via the transfer portal on Monday. Humphreys had 22 receptions for 439 yards in 2023 for Vanderbilt.

The Bulldogs also added former four-star recruit defensive lineman Xzavier McLeod out of South Carolina via the transfer portal, McLeod announced Friday.
