The transfer portal officially opens on Wednesday, and that means Georgia football fans will once again be watching closely to see if any Bulldogs decide to enter. But while departures are always a concern, the portal also brings opportunity—Georgia will be active in searching for potential additions to bolster its roster.
One key area the Bulldogs are expected to focus on is the EDGE position, where depth remains a bit uncertain. Fortunately, they don’t necessarily need a long-term solution. With a strong core of young talent already in place, Georgia is likely targeting a veteran presence who can contribute for a year or two while the younger players continue to develop.

That’s why the recent announcement from Troy EDGE rusher Phillip Lee could be significant for Georgia.
Lee, who just completed his junior season at Troy, plans to enter the transfer portal after a breakout year. He had a quiet start to his college career, but in 2024, he made a name for himself with 30 tackles, five sacks, a forced fumble, and a pass breakup across 11 games. With his stock rising, Lee is aiming to make the jump to a Power Four program for his final season.
Now, the big question is whether Kirby Smart and his staff will make a move. Given the team’s need for immediate impact at EDGE, bringing in a proven player like Lee could make a lot of sense. If Georgia is serious about reinforcing that position, Lee might just be one of the top short-term options available this spring.
