Sounds like he tore his ACL late in 22 so he decided to walk on at Georgia for this spring semester. Brother Colton Hood is also a transfer target.

That first clip where he chases down the corner is hilarious

PWO or scholly?

edit: I'm guessing Scholarship. Kid signed as mentioned above, as a PWO with Georgia but definitely had commitable offers.

Obviously a scholarship. You think a guy with that film is walking on?!

Let him get healthy and Red Shirt this year if needed. I liked his receiving skills TBH. Made a couple great grabs.

He is 18 months post surgery now. He should be 100% and ready now.

The fact that he didn’t seem to participate in his SR year and all new offers reported ceased by summer of 2023 (many were post injury but ceased) may be a flag that his injury was more major than most. If he’s on scholarship, he’d have been green lit by a Dr Exam. Film looked great, but it’s of early Sophomore year. He walked on at UGA which suggests he wants to play at highest level.

Hopefully we got a steal and he is ready for full go.

Edit: another poster pointed out to me that Adam (free article) states he played in 5 games his JR year (then injured) and 5 games his SR year. I was confused on previous things I'd read, so if he came back his SR year, that would be as expected. Still a bit mysterious why he decided to pay his own way to UGA rather than take advantage of one of the scholarship opportunities he had, feature himself. That's a strange route to take frankly for a healthy player.
