Georgia CB Julian Humphrey signs with Texas A&M

Georgia cornerback Julian Humphrey has signed with Texas A&M, On3 has learned. The No. 2 cornerback in the transfer portal, according to On3’s Transfer Portal Rankings, Humphrey spent the weekend in College Station.

Other schools in the mix for the former top-100 recruit included SMU, Florida State, Texas and Oregon but the Aggies were able to close the commitment on the visit to College Station.

Humphrey finished his redshirt sophomore season with 10 total tackles and four pass breakups, starting 10 games for the Bulldogs. He finished his Georgia career with 21 tackles and five pass breakups. Humphrey entered the transfer portal after the 2023 season but ultimately decided to remain in Athens for another season.

Humphrey’s commitment marks one of the first of a stacked recruiting weekend, which hosted top portal wide receivers Nic Anderson (Oklahoma) and Mario Craver (Mississippi State).

Humphrey played high school football at Houston (TX) Clear Lake, where he was a four-star prospect. He was the No. 82 overall recruit in the 2022 cycle, according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.

Georgia is still in the midst of a College Football Playoff run, but Humphrey is not expected to be a part of it. The Bulldogs will play the winner of Notre Dame and Indiana in the Sugar Bowl on Jan. 1.

“I’m worried about my team,” Georgia head coach Kirby Smart said recently when asked about Humphrey’s departure. “I mean, I’ve learned in this thing that you worry about the players that are with you, not the ones that aren’t. 

Now with two years of eligibility remaining, Julian Humphrey heads to Texas A&M, which is coming off an 8-4 season and was one win away from making the SEC championship game in Mike Elko’s first season. The cornerback is not slated to play his former team in the 2025 regular season.
