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.

Georgia is set to host Alabama transfer quarterback Dylan Lonergan for an official visit. Lonergan, who entered the transfer portal after his freshman year at Alabama, did not see any game action during his time there. Originally a four-star recruit from Brookwood High School in Snellville, Georgia, he was ranked as the No. 10 quarterback in the 2023 class. His visit to Georgia is part of his exploration of new opportunities following his decision to transfer. This move comes as Georgia looks to bolster its quarterback depth chart, especially with the departure of key players like Stetson Bennett to the NFL.
