Matt Landers Enters NCAA Transfer Portal

Georgia football wide receiver Matt Landers entered the NCAA transfer portal as of Tuesday afternoon.

Landers saw action in nine of 10 games this season and caught just two balls for 27 yards. In 2019, Landers saw action in 12 of 14 games and had 10 catches for 105 yards. Now, he will become one of three wide receivers from Georgia who have entered the transfer portal. Wide receivers Makiya Tongue and Trey Blount have already entered the portal and found their new schools.

This type of attrition at the wide receiver position was expected this offseason due to young players like Jermaine Burton, Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint, and Justin Robinson entering the program and vaulting up the depth chart rather quickly. Landers saw playing time early in the 2020 season and was seemingly passed up by much younger players.

Landers is a product of St. Petersburg High School in St. Petersburg, Fla., and was a three-star prospect entering Georgia. At 6-foot-5, 200 pounds, Landers impressed the UGA coaching staff and received ample opportunities to earn and maintain playing time. The only problems is he never capitalized on those opportunities during his time at Georgia.

He will have at least one season remaining, possibly two on the collegiate level depending whether or not he receives an additional year of eligibility from the NCAA.
