The Georgia Bulldogs are actively seeking a replacement for quarterback Carson Beck, who recently entered the transfer portal following an elbow injury that sidelined him for the College Football Playoff. One potential candidate is Buffalo Bulls quarterback C.J. Ogbonna, who has accumulated 3,995 passing yards in his collegiate career.
Ogbonna’s 2024 season at Buffalo was impressive, with 2,381 passing yards, 19 touchdowns, and 343 rushing yards, showcasing his dual-threat capabilities. His performance has attracted interest from both Georgia and their SEC rival, the Florida Gators, setting up a competitive recruitment battle.
Georgia’s current quarterback roster includes Gunner Stockton, who stepped in for the injured Beck during the SEC Championship Game and the subsequent Sugar Bowl. Stockton’s experience, combined with the potential addition of Ogbonna, could provide the Bulldogs with a robust quarterback lineup for the upcoming season.
The competition between Georgia and Florida for Ogbonna’s commitment underscores the high stakes involved in securing a talented quarterback to lead their respective offenses. As both programs vie for his services, Ogbonna’s decision will significantly impact the quarterback dynamics within the SEC.
