Georgia cornerback Daniel Harris to enter transfer portal
A promising prospect from Georgia’s No. 2-ranked 2023 recruiting class is entering the transfer portal. Freshman cornerback Daniel Harris is seeking a transfer. He is the 19th Bulldog to do so, the 17th who was on scholarship.
Harris spent less than seven months at Georgia after enrolling this summer. He was one of the latest additions to the 2023 class after committing to the Bulldogs during the Early Signing Period in December of 2022. Georgia was able to get him on the field in five games but he did not register a tackle or pass breakup in a Bulldog uniform.
As a prospect Harris was ranked as the nation’s No. 163 overall player in the 2023 class by the On3 Industry-ranking, a weighted average that includes all four recruiting services. He was the nation’s No. 18 cornerback in that class and the No. 36 player in Florida.
More on the transfer portal…
The NCAA student-athlete transfer portal launched in 2018. It marked a change from when student-athletes had to get a release from one school to transfer to another and they could be limited as to where they transferred. The portal allows student-athletes to simply notify their current school and its compliance department that they intend to move on to another program. Entering the transfer portal does not mean a prospect has to transfer, it just means they can be recruited by other programs and take visits. Georgia has had players enter the portal in the past and elect to return.

Since its implementation, Georgia has added several notable prospects. That list includes Lawrence Cager (Miami), Eli Wolf (Tennessee), Derion Kendrick (Clemson), Tykee Smith (West Virginia), Rara Thomas (Mississippi State) and Dominic Lovett (Missouri). The Bulldogs have had years when they’ve been active in the portal, attempting to take as many as four prospects before the 2021 season. They have also had seasons like 2022 when they didn’t take a single player and went on to go 15-0, winning the National Championship for a second straight season.
Portal needs for Georgia in the current class include defensive line and wide receiver, where it is expected to land multiple players at each position. The Bulldogs could also be in the market at running back, outside linebacker, offensive tackle, or safety. If a player wants to transfer from SEC school to SEC school, he must do so by January 2 when the current window closes. There is another window that will open in the spring but, at that point, a player must transfer in from outside the conference in order to play right away.
