The Georgia Bulldogs have reportedly reached out (subscription required) to Buffalo Bulls transfer quarterback C.J. Ogbonna. UGA isn’t the only team interested in the senior quarterback. The Florida Gators have also reached out to Ogbonna.
Ogbonna has six years of college experience and is hoping to get a seventh season of eligibility resulting from the Diego Pavia case, which provides a blanket waiver of eligibility to former junior college transfers.
Georgia recently lost starting quarterback Carson Beck to the transfer portal. Beck transferred to Miami. The Bulldogs weren’t expecting Beck to return in 2025, but his transfer still comes as a bit of a surprise. Georgia also lost quarterback Jaden Rashada to the transfer portal.
The Bulldogs will have Gunner Stockton and Ryan Puglisi as their two returning, experienced quarterbacks next year. Georgia is eyeing more competition in the quarterback room at a bare minimum.
What does C.J. Ogbonna bring to the table?
Ogbonna has 586 career passing attempts and started for Buffalo in 2024. He recorded 2,381 passing yards, 19 passing touchdowns and five interceptions in 2024.
The 6-foot-2, 220-pound quarterback from Atlanta also posted 343 rushing yards and eight rushing touchdowns, so he has solid mobility. Ogbonna helped Buffalo go 9-4 in 2024 including a win in the Bahamas Bowl.
