Edge rusher Sam M’Pemba is the latest Georgia Bulldogs football player that plans to enter the NCAA transfer portal. M’Pemba spent two seasons as a rotational player on the Bulldogs’ defense but never carved out a consistent role. Over 15 games during his time in Athens, he recorded six tackles while serving primarily as a reserve.
M’Pemba, a former five-star prospect, is from Saint Louis, Missouri. He attended IMG Academy, a powerhouse for high school football. Known for his raw athletic ability, M’Pemba has the potential to develop into an NFL draft caliber player. He certainly has some untapped potential within his 6-foot-3, 250-pound frame.
With three years of eligibility remaining, M’Pemba will look to find more opportunities with another Power Four program. He is the sixth and second Georgia player on Friday to enter the portal during the winter transfer portal cycle, joining Troy Bowles, David Daniel-Sisavanh, Julian Humphrey, Michael Jackson III, Jamaal Jarrett, and Justyn Rhett.
