Georgia set to host Alabama transfer QB Dylan Lonergan
Georgia hosted a transfer quarterback late last week when Charlotte’s Deshawn Purdie came to town and it will host another this week. On3’s Pete Nakos says that Alabama transfer Dylan Lonergan plans to be in town. The news was first reported by Max Olson of The Athletic.
Lonergan, who played his high school about 45 miles away from the UGA campus at Brookwood, signed with the Crimson Tide in the 2023 class. He is in the transfer portal with three years to play three after appearing in three games over the past two seasons. Lonergan has completed seven of eight pass attempts for 35 yards in his career.
Georgia is clearly taking a long look at the quarterback position in the transfer portal, even with it’s likely starter potentially set to take over right now. Gunner Stockton is the odds-on favorite to win the job after three years in the system, but his time is likely now with Carson Beck‘s future in doubt due to an injury ulnar collateral ligament in the SEC Championship win over Texas.
The Bulldogs have Jaden Rashada and Ryan Puglisi in that room but it is unclear whether either will be in position to offer Stockton any competition this spring. Georgia also signed two quarterbacks in the 2025 class — Ryan Montgomery and Hezekiah Millender.

Dylan Lonergan’s On3 Scouting Report (2023)
“Talented passer who doubles as a standout on the gridiron and the baseball diamond. Highly touted baseball prospect who holds multiple Power 5 baseball offers, with the possibility of being a MLB Draft pick. Shows touch and accuracy as a passer at all levels of the field. Lonergan layers the football well, but can turn up the heat if needed on tight window throws. Productive while facing strong competition. Threw for nearly 3,400 yards and 32 touchdowns with just 3 interceptions as a junior.
“Mobile and creative with his legs. Ran for over 600 yards and 7 touchdowns as a junior. Has a stocky build, measuring between 6-foot-1 and 6-foot-2 and around 220 pounds. Lonergan’s mechanics can falter when the pocket collapses. Arm talent combined with his accuracy makes him one of the safer quarterback prospects in the country despite being on the older end for his class. Father was a quarterback at Penn State in the early 1980’s and won a national championship with them in 1982.”
