The Georgia Bulldogs are projected to add a commitment from UAB Blazers transfer safety Adrian Maddox. Maddox, who is a junior, has excellent size and game experience. He began his college football career with the Alabama State Hornets.
The 6-foot-3, 200-pound safety is an unranked prospect in the transfer portal. He was unranked as a recruit and played high school football for Heritage High School in Conyers, Georgia.
Maddox immediately made an impact at Alabama State in 2022. As a freshman, he posted 32 tackles, one sack and two interceptions.
In 2023, Maddox recorded 38 tackles, six pass deflections, two sacks and two forced fumbles with Alabama State. After 2023, Maddox transferred to UAB.
The lengthy safety earned immediate playing time with UAB. In 2024, he accumulated 44 tackles, seven pass deflections, two forced fumbles and one interception (returned 99 yards for a touchdown). UAB went just 3-9 and struggled defensively.
If Maddox commits to Georgia, then he would be UGA’s first incoming transfer portal commitment this cycle. 247Sports projects the former UAB safety to commit to Georgia.
It is unclear what role Maddox would have with Georgia, but the Bulldogs will likely be replacing starting safeties Dan Jackson and Malaki Starks after the 2024 season.
