Another former Georgia Bulldog has made his way down to Miami, as offensive lineman Jamal Meriweather will play for the Hurricanes next season. <\/p>\n

Meriweather spent the past three seasons at Georgia <\/a>and will have two years of eligibility remaining. He appeared in 13 games last year for Georgia as a backup offensive lineman. <\/p>\n

Former Georgia outside linebacker Damon Wilson will also spend next year in Miami<\/a>. Former Georgia quarterback Carson Beck started for the Hurricanes during the 2025 season, guiding the Hurricanes to a national title appearance. <\/p>\n

Meriweather confirmed his transfer via his Instagram. <\/p>\n

On Georgia\u2019s offensive line, the Bulldogs will have Phil Rauscher<\/a> step in for Stacy Searels as the team\u2019s position coach. Guard Micah Morris and offensive tackle Monroe Freeling move on to the NFL. <\/p>\n

Georgia sees Earnest Greene to return for the 2026 season.<\/a>\u00a0He started 11 games for Georgia in 2025, missing time due to a back injury. He has previous experince playing left tackle for Georgia, doing so in the 2023 and 2024 seasons. Greene did not publicly declare for the 2026 NFL Draft.<\/p>\n

The Bulldogs did lose center Drew Bobo to a season-ending foot injury against Georgia Tech, with Malachi Toliver replacing him. Both players will be back for Georgia in 2026.<\/p>\n

Georgia got plenty of run out of freshmen Juan Gaston and Dontrell Glover. Gaston could move out to tackle next season thanks to his size.<\/p>\n

Michael Uini, Jah Jackson and Daniel Calhoun all played first-team snaps on Georgia\u2019s 2025 offensive line and will compete to do so again in 2026.<\/p>\n

Georgia signed five offensive linemen in the 2026 recruiting cycle, led by 5-star prospect Ekene Ogboko. With Freeling moving on to the NFL, Ogboko becomes a much more important piece for Georgia next season. He is already enrolled and was going through practice in the run-up to the College Football Playoff.<\/p>\n

Georgia had 15 players enter the transfer portal. Only offensive lineman Nyier Daniels has not yet found a home. Georgia brought in eight transfers, though none on the offensive line. <\/p>\n
