Georgia Football: JT Daniels will be perfect Jamie Newman replacement

Rumors are swirling that JT Daniels is close to picking Georgia football as his next home and he’d be the perfect Jamie Newman replacement.

Kirby Smart has done it again — presumably. Rumors are swirling that Georgia is on the verge of landing top quarterback transfer JT Daniels which would give them a second top-tier transfer at the position on the roster for 2020.

Though Daniels likely would have to sit out a year, he’d be the perfect replacement starter in 2021 and be the next pro prospect for the Bulldogs under center.

Right now, everything seems to be pointing to Georgia landing the USC transfer, but there are some in the media willing to give it the “confirmed” distinction.

Even if it’s not yet confirmed, it seems as if it’d be a massive shock if Daniels didn’t pick Georgia at this point and he’ll almost certainly have to sit out a year. Unless he has a case, which it doesn’t look like he does, his waiver of immediate eligibility will likely be denied.

And that’s OK because Georgia already has Jamie Newman.

The rich (Georgia football) get richer

While this all seems unfair for the rest of college football because Smart and the Bulldogs have been recruiting quarterbacks at a ridiculous level, you can’t knock them. Going from former blue-chipper Jake Fromm to Justin Fields (who transferred) to All-ACC transfer Jamie Newman and now former five-star JT Daniels and all of this while recruiting five-star quarterbacks? Unreal.

Newman is gearing up to start for the Bulldogs in 2020 and he deserves it after a solid end to his Wake Forest career when he finished as arguably the second-best quarterback in the conference behind only Trevor Lawrence.

When Newman leaves following the 2020 season, Daniels will take over and he has what it takes to be a star. He passed for 2,672 yards and 14 touchdowns in his first year as a starter with USC and he’ll have even better targets, better coaching and a reliable offensive line to boost those numbers.

The 6-3, 210-pounder gives the Bulldogs three straight reliable starters — arguably four — and not many programs can go from Jacob Eason to Fromm/Fields to Newman to Daniels. If you think about it, that’s five pro prospects in consecutive seasons.

Georgia continues to get richer.
