Former Georgia quarterback Brock Vandagriff revealed Wednesday that he is transferring to Kentucky.Vandagriff got in the transfer website as a graduate transfer Monday, the very first day of the portal window, and is now staying in the SEC. He was the No. 37 general hire in the 2021 class out of Bogart, Georgia, and despite his lofty ranking, he was never able to climb up the depth chart and begin for the Bulldogs.He sat behind
Carson Beck this season and attempted just 18 passes in 2023, finishing 12 for 165 yards and two touchdowns.

Vandagriff has actually already graduated from Georgia, but he still has two years of eligibility remaining and will help fill a requirement at the position for Kentucky.Before the 2023 season
, the Wildcats brought in NC State transfer Devin Leary, who tossed for 2,440 backyards, 23 goals and 10 interceptions in 12 games. Leary and Kentucky went 7-5 this season, and now Vandagriff offers the staff a new option for the 2024 season with Leary lacking eligibility.Editor’s Picks 1 Associated Vandagriff’s transfer leaves Georgia with an interesting scenario at quarterback. Beck has not announced if he
will come back for another year or leave for the NFL, so his choice will likely figure out if the coaches search for more assistance at the position.Regardless, coach Kirby Smart and his personnel have Gunner Stockton on the roster, a previous ESPN 300 hire in the 2022 class, and have first-class quarterback Dylan
Raiola committed in the 2024 class.Raiola is the No. 1 pocket-passing quarterback and the No. 8 overall possibility in the cycle.
