Major Burns Makes Transfer Decision Known
Former Georgia Football safety Major Burns has announced where he will be transferring. Burns will stay in the SEC and return to Baton Rouge, La., where he is from to play for the LSU Tigers, he announced on his Twitter feed Friday.
Burns was not expected to start for the Bulldogs this year. Georgia returns safeties Lewis Cine and Chris Smith, both of whom started in the latter half of the 2020 season. However, that doesn’t mean the Georgia defense won’t feel his loss. Burns was presumed to be next on the depth chart to play at safety if there was an injury to one of the starters. The loss of depth is amplified by the fact that the Dawgs were already short on defensive backs.
Burns was not the first defensive back to transfer from Georgia this offseason. Tyrique Stevenson entered the portal following the Peach Bowl and was quickly picked up by his hometown school, Miami. Considering the loosened restrictions on transfers, the fact that Georgia has only had two players from that room enter the transfer portal could be considered par for the course considering what is happening in college football.
Burns' transfer will be Georgia fans' first taste of what is expected to be the new normal for college football. Players will be in and out of the transfer portal faster than ever. This is the new age of college football, so buckle up.
