Kirby Smart clarifies status of Georgia CB Daniel Harris after transfer portal announcement

Georgia CB Daniel Harris shared that he’d be heading into the transfer portal and reports shared as much over the last week. However, according to Kirby Smart, that has yet to take place to this point.

Smart spoke about Harris’ portal decision during the coaches press conference at the Orange Bowl today. While he shared his decision to enter and reports have indicated that he’s doing so as well, Smart has explained that he has not gone in the portal to this point.

“Just because somebody posted he’s going in the portal doesn’t mean he is,” said Smart. “You have to go in the portal and he has not.”

Reports regarding Harris’ status in the portal came out around Christmas. He seemed to have joined a long list of Bulldogs who were also going to transfer this offseason.

However, it appears that those circumstances may not be the case according to Smart.

Harris played in five games for Georgia this season without recording any statistics.

Harris did so after arriving in Athens as a four-star recruit with their No. 2 class in 2023. He was the No. 163 overall recruit according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He finished as the No. 18 CB in the class as well as a Top-50 player out of Florida as a native of Miami.
