It didn’t take Georgia long to find the guy who should succeed Jake Fromm as the starting quarterback.
After multiple reports emerged Friday night, Wake Forest QB Jamie Newman confirmed Saturday morning that he’s joining the Bulldogs as a graduate transfer. Newman, the Demon Deacons’ starting quarterback in 2019, will be immediately eligible and should be Georgia’s first-team QB in spring practice.
Newman was 220-of-361 passing for 2,868 yards and 26 touchdowns with 11 interceptions in 2019. His best game came in the season opener against Utah State, when he was 34-of-47 for 401 yards and three touchdowns in a win.
