That didn't take long. A day after Jake Fromm announced that he'll be foregoing his senior season at Georgia, the Bulldogs moved quickly in added coveted Wake Forest graduate transfer quarterback Jamie Newman. He will enroll at Georgia in the coming days and participate in winter workouts and spring drills.
The dual-threat quarterback announced his decision via Twitter on Thursday, likely filling a major void for the Bulldogs in 2019.
“With some of these early departures and graduations, keep an eye on former Wake Forest QB, Jamie Newman,” SEC and ESPN College Football analyst Greg McElroy after Fromm m his decision on Wednesday. “He will be a very hot commodity as a Grad-Transfer. He has a ton of talent and potential.”
The Bulldogs currently have former walk-on turned junior college player turned scholarship quarterback Stetson Bennett IV on the roster. He served as Fromm's backup in 2019. They also have 2019 signee D'Wan Mathis, who didn't participate in 2019 due to surgery to remove a cyst from his brain in May of 2019. Mathis practiced with the team all season but has not yet been cleared for contact although he expects that to happen in time to play in 2020. Four-star 2020 quarterback signee Carson Beck is also in the mix. He has already enrolled at UGA and will go through spring drills as well.
Great news. Fromm has been inconsistent.
