Five schools expected to contend for Georgia transfer CB Julian Humphrey

Georgia CB Julian Humphrey is expected to have quite a few suitors in the NCAA transfer portal.

According to On3’s Steve Wiltfong, Humprey is expected to look at Texas, Texas A&M, Oregon, Alabama and Miami once he enters the NCAA transfer portal.

Humphrey finished his sophomore season with 10 total tackles (nine solo) and four pass breakups. He was 21 tackles and five PBUs on his career. He started in 10 games for the Bulldogs this season.

Humphrey entered the transfer portal after the end of his redshirt freshman campaign, but ultimately decided to remain in Athens for another season. He has opted to re-open his recruitment with two seasons of collegiate eligibility left.

Georgia head coach Kirby Smart commented on Humphrey’s status with the Bulldogs ahead of Saturday’s SEC Championship matchup against a team that may hold some interest for the defensive back — Texas.

“No status that I’m aware of,” Smart said. “I saw the same thing you saw, so … We’re worried about the guys that we’re going to play Texas with.”

In 2022, he played as a reserve defensive back in three games, preserving his redshirt. That season, he was a piece of Georgia’s second national championship in as many seasons. He stepped into a larger role during the 2023 season, but missed time because of an injury.

Humphrey played high school football at Clear Lake (TX), where he was a four-star prospect. He was the No. 82 overall recruit in the 2022 cycle, according to the On3 Industry Ranking, which is a proprietary algorithm that compiles ratings and rankings from all four primary recruiting media services. He was the No. 10 cornerback in the nation and No. 16 player in his home state of Texas.
