Georgia Loses An Offensive Piece To The New Spring Transfer Portal
The Georgia Bulldogs have been the best team in college football over the past three seasons. Even a school that has won two of the last National Championships loses players to the transfer portal, and the Bulldogs saw two players hit the new spring transfer portal that opened on Monday.
Wide receiver Braxton Lee Hicks went to the social media site X and wrote a nice letter thanking Georgia and their fans and also stated he would be entering the transfer portal.
I am entering my name in the Transfer Portal as a Grad Transfer with two years of eligibility left. Thank you UGA and Go Dawgs🐶💯 #GodsPlan pic.twitter.com/e9LthI4Csv

Hicks is a Georgia native and is in his junior season but has hardly seen the field since stepping on campus. 
I’m assuming Hicks was waiting to see how spring practices would go before he entered the portal and probably saw his playing time would be limited and decided he would join the portal.
The spring portal is different from the winter portal, and in the SEC, if you enter the spring portal, you can’t transfer to a new SEC team and play right away. You can play immediately and transfer to an SEC school in the winter portal, but once the spring one hits, you can’t go from SEC school to SEC school.
Hicks is most likely heading out of the SEC unless he wants to sit, but I’m assuming he heads to a smaller school where he can see the field since it was never going to happen in a Bulldogs jersey.
