College football’s 10 most intriguing transfers to watch in 2020
Where do we begin. After almost making a huge comeback in the 2019 Pinstripe Bowl against Michigan State, Jamie Newman decided he wanted a better chance at reaching the NFL. After officially transferring to Georgia with the desire to improve on his game, he will first have to compete to win the job against former blue-chipper and USC transfer, JT Daniels.
Newman throughout his entire football career earned everything he got the hard way. Out of high school, hd was an under-recruited three-star prospect with little interest from major programs. Battling is something Newman is used to.
Newman unlike the more polished Daniels, had a bigger frame standing at 6-foot-4 and is able to take the hits that come with playing against talented defensive fronts each week in the SEC.
Under new Georgia offensive coordinator Todd Monken, he will implement his spread air-raid offense that consist of multiple receivers and working primarily out of the shotgun. This will be an adjustment for Newman who ran a simple RPO offense under David Clawson at Wake Forest which had him make slow reads and gave him the ability to hold onto the ball even longer, serving as another blocker.
The new offense gives a slight edge to Daniels who learned the air-raid under USC offensive coordinator Graham Herrell, though briefly after getting injured early missing a majority of the season.
