The Georgia Bulldogs have been named as the most likely landing spot for Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets transfer wide receiver Eric Singleton. Singleton, who was Georgia Tech’s leading receiver in 2024, is 247Sports’ No. 1 ranked player in the transfer portal.
“Eric Singleton is the No. 1 player in the portal right now. That is the Georgia Tech wide receiver. And he is looking strongly at Georgia. I would call Georgia the leader in the clubhouse for his services right now,” said 247Sports college football expert Josh Pate. “He is a legit deep threat explosive pass catcher.”
Why is Georgia the leader for Eric Singleton? Well, Georgia has three of the top 20 leading receivers in the NFL right now. And Georgia has Singleton’s former wide receivers coach, Josh Crawford on its coaching staff (Crawford is now UGA’s running backs coach). Those pitches combined with Georgia’s robust Name, Image and Likeness budget give Georgia a strong chance to land Singleton.
The 5-foot-11, 190-pound sophomore from Douglasville, Georgia, has two seasons of eligibility remaining. Singleton is the top receiver in the transfer portal. He recorded eight catches for 86 yards and one touchdown in Georgia Tech’s eight-overtime loss to Georgia, so the Bulldogs have seen what he is capable of firsthand.
Singleton has 56 receptions for 754 receiving yards (Georgia Tech team-high) and three touchdowns. The sophomore is also a threat as a rusher. He has 21 carries for 131 yards and two touchdowns. Singleton is excellent after the catch and is a very versatile athlete.
Singleton also has visits set up to the Ole Miss Rebels and Auburn Tigers.
Georgia is looking to address the wide receiver position in the portal this offseason because Dillon Bell, Dominic Lovett, Arian Smith and Colbie Young are potentially departing to the NFL. UGA has already lost two wide receivers to the transfer portal in Michael Jackson.
The transfer portal is open from Dec. 9 to Dec. 28. Georgia’s College Football Playoff quarterfinal game is in the Sugar Bowl on Jan. 1 at 8:45 p.m. ET.
