A former top quarterback recruit is officially leaving Georgia for an SEC rival.
Brock Vandagriff, who entered the transfer portal this week, announced on Wednesday that he has committed to Kentucky.
Vandagriff joined Georgia in 2021 as a five-star prospect out of Bogart (Ga.) Prince Avenue Christian. He played behind Stetson Bennett on Georgia’s championship teams in 2021 and 2022. Vandagriff was then the backup behind Carson Beck this season.
While Beck is viewed as a potential first-round draft pick, recent reports have claimed he is leaning toward returning for his senior season in 2024. That was likely a factor in Vandagriff’s decision to transfer.
Kentucky is in need of its third starting quarterback in three seasons. Transfer Devin Leary started for the Wildcats this year after Will Levis left for the NFL. Leary will now enter the NFL Draft, which paves the way for Vandagriff to step into a starting role.
