Georgia defensive back Marcus Washington Jr. has entered the NCAA transfer portal.

Washington, a former four-star recruit out of Grovetown, Georgia, reclassified and enrolled at UGA one year early as part of the 2022 signing class.

Washington played in one game last season, meaning he was able to redshirt. He will have four years of eligibility remaining.

His father, Marcus Sr., was a linebacker at Georgia from 2005-09.

“After thoughtful prayer and discussion with my family, I have decided that my time as a Bulldog has come to an end,” Washington wrote on social media. “I have enjoyed my time spent with the Bulldog Nation, my teammates, my coaches, and the staff here at UGA! My lone season in Athens was a magical one that I will never forget, however it is time for me to explore other avenues for me to continue my academic and athletic career. With that being said I will be entering the transfer portal with 4 years of eligibility remaining!”

Washington joins defensive linemen Shone Washington and Bear Alexander, center Griffin Scroggs, inside linebacker Rian Davis, offensive linemen Weston Wallace and running back Sevaughn Clark as the seventh player to enter the transfer portal from Georgia this spring.
