Georgia LB Jamon Dumas Johnson has entered the transfer portal, per @mzenitz pic.twitter.com/CzucZJTjKX — PFF College (@PFF_College) December 15, 2023 Dumas Johnson has entered the portal He is the third inside linebacker this season.
He joins EJ Lightsey and Xavian Slay in that position group, entering the portal.
Dumas Joson was a member of the 2021 class, along with Slay and Smail Mondon Jr.
Georgia still doesn’t know if Mondon will head to the pros or stay with the Dawgs for another year.
The departure of Dumas-Johnson is a big blow to a strong linebacker core, but the linebacker core is strong.
CJ Allen played the injured Dumas-Johnson and gave an excellent performance.
Additionally, Raylen Wilson won his SEC All-Freshman award this year, and Georgia has the talented Troy Bowells.
Georgia is also expected to sign five-star linebacker Justin Williams and two other helpers.
Many fans on social media were shocked when the news arrived late Thursday night.
Many wondered why she wanted to visit this portal, even though Dumas-Johnson had been her starter for two years.
Speculation: Sources inside the Georgia football program believe Dumas-Johnson lost the job to CJ Allen after the rookie showed the will to play for an injured Dumas-Johnson.
This makes the most sense as to why Dumas-Johnson felt he had to leave Georgia.
This Dumas vs.
Johnson’s move also raises concerns about what Mondon will do with his decision to turn pro or stay another year.
Both players (Mondon and Dumas Johnson) are very close and are roommates.
One would imagine this would have some influence on Mondon’s decision.
I could be 100% wrong about him here, but Kirby Smart cleans the house and tells certain players to enter the portal.
I could be completely wrong, but a few steps helped me figure it out.
Most of the transfers were defensive players, and this year’s defense did not meet Georgia’s defensive standards.
I would like to emphasize again that this is just a guess on my part.
Anyway, welcome to a new era of college football.
Some people may take some time to get used to it.
But this is a new era and there will be a lot more to come in the coming years.
Jamon Dumas-Johnson will be missed, but his contributions to the 2022 National Championship team will never be forgotten.
