Georgia adds electric transfer guard Smurf Millender from UTSA
The transfer portal took four guards away from Georgia at the end of the 2025 season. It has now given the Bulldogs four guards in return with a second addition on Monday. UTSA point guard Smurf Millender announced that he will be continuing basketball career at UGA.
The 5-foot-9 was a bright spot for the Roadrunners in his sophomore season. He averaged 34.5 minutes per game where he hit an impressive 43.8 percent of his three-point tries. He also shot over 87 percent from the free-throw line. Millender averaged 14.9 points, three rebounds, and 3.3 assists per contest while committing less than two turnovers per game.
UTSA managed just a 12-19 record on the year. Millender scored 20 points or more in four of the Roadrunners final five games of the season including a 24-point outburst against East Carolina in the second round of the American Athletic Conference Championship tournament. He also had seven rebounds in that game.
Despite his small stature, Millender was a consistent force for UTSA. He scored double digits in 17 straight games to end his sophomore year.

His first season of college ball was spent at South Alabama. There he averaged 9.7 points per game while playing 28 minutes per contest. He also shot 43.8 percent from beyond the arc. He has hit just under 44 percent of his 233 three-point attempts at the college level thus far.
Georgia has been hit hard in the back court since the season ended, losing Silas Demary, DeShayne Montgomery, Savo Drezgic, and Jordyn Kee to the transfer portal. The Dawgs also lost Dakota Leffew and Tyrin Lawrence to exhausted eligibility. Millender joins former Cal guard Jeremiah Wilkinson, former Wofford shooting guard Justin Bailey, and former Saint Mary’s point guard Jordan Ross as backcourt additions via the portal. The Bulldogs have also landed small forward/wing Kanon Catchings.
