Clay Webb to enter transfer portal three seasons after signing with Georgia as a five-star
Georgia offensive lineman Clay Webb entered the transfer portal on Sunday afternoon. Webb, a rising junior for the Bulldogs, has played in just five career games over the course of three seasons in the program. He appeared in two games in 2019 against Murray State and Georgia Tech, being named a co-winner of the Offensive Scout Team Player of the Year, and three in 2020. That season he played in each of the final three games of the season against South Carolina, Missouri and Cincinnati.
Webb’s career story is one of a player who simply didn’t pan out. He was ranked the No. 14 overall player in the Class of 2019 as well as the No. 2 interior offensive lineman and the No. 1 player in the state of Alabama. Webb was a USA Today First-Team All-USA and No. 18 on their “Chosen 25.” AL.com listed him as the top prospect on its “A-List,” while MaxPreps named Webb to the All-American teams his freshman, sophomore and junior seasons. He also was a decorated wrestler at Oxford (Ala.) High School. However, as demonstrated by the number of games that he played, things didn’t work out for Webb at the collegiate level.
Webb will be the eleventh Georgia player to hit the transfer portal this offseason and the third straight offensive lineman to do so. Owen Condon entered the portal on the first day of spring practice and Amarius Mims did so too earlier today. As for the other ones, Cornerback Ameer Speed and wide receiver Jaylen Johnson both put their names in within 24 hours of the Bulldogs bringing home the National Championship in January. Speed will play at Michigan State next season where he’ll join former Georgia defensive coordinator Mel Tucker who helped recruit Speed to Athens. Johnson committed to East Carolina.
Then, another cornerback-wide receiver pairing put their names in. This time it was Jalen Kimber and Justin Robinson. Georgia will play against both Kimber and Robinson next season as they land at Florida and Mississippi State respectively. Defensive back Latavious Brini was the fifth Georgia player to enter the transfer portal, and he too will be playing for an SEC squad next season at Arkansas. Wide receiver Jermaine Burton is going through spring drills in Tuscaloosa with the Alabama Crimson Tide after he entered the transfer portal, while quarterback JT Daniels has yet to decide his next destination. Lovasea Carroll is out of Athens after just one year, transferring to South Carolina where the Gamecocks have him listed as a running back, his high school position, as opposed to cornerback where he spent his season at Georgia.
