Georgia Football loses Jayden Maiava via transfer portal flip.
Georgia football again experiences a factor in the new brave world of collegiate football. Once on his way to Athens, Jayden Maiava has decided not to undertake that trip. Instead, Maiava is taking the short drive from Las Vegas to Los Angeles and playing at USC.
This is a component of the new world of college football. We have portal flips now. If you read my story from the other day about Maiava coming, I indicated it did not make much sense. Maiava came to the same decision.
I will not bash a 19-year-old child for his decisions or the lack of decisions he makes. I also do not want to be the old guy wailing into the clouds, but this stuff has to end, or college football will burn out its most faithful supporters.
It is insane that this has happened not only once but twice in one offseason for the Dawgs! First, we had Julian Humphery “snip-snap, snip-snap” with going or staying with Georgia, and now Maiava. It’s unfathomable to me that this is the environment coaches live in. If I were Kirby Smart, I would have a stroke trying to keep up with all this.
So, what does this imply for the Dawgs? Well, Kirby Smart commented about how they would like to have 4 QBs on the roster. They had four with Maiava, but now they are back to three. So, my bet is that Georgia gets a guy in the portal, or they wait till the end of next season and go shopping for one.
With N.I.L. and the gateway, who knows what QB will be seeking for a new home? With Carson Beck going for the NFL this upcoming season, Athens might be that spot. At this point, I would not be stunned if a Heisman Trophy winner moved into the portal one day. But for now, the Dawgs and Kirby Smart will seek for that 4th quarterback. Who knows if they will ever get it?
