The Georgia Bulldogs have already lost quite a bit of offensive line depth to the transfer portal this offseason. The latest Georgia forward to enter the portal is redshirt sophomore Jamal Meriweather.
The 6-foot-7, 305-pound offensive lineman appeared in 12 games for Georgia in 2025. Meriwether serves as a reserve offensive lineman and special teams player. The talented tight end was a former four-star recruit out of Brunswick High School in Brunswick, Georgia.

Merriweather is the fourth Georgia offensive lineman to enter the portal this offseason. He entered the transfer portal this winter along with Bo Hughley (Colorado), Kelton Smith (previously medically retired; transferred to Georgia) and Neal Daniels (fired after arrest).

Merriweather’s departure is another blow to Georgia’s offensive line depth. The Bulldogs lost starting offensive guard Micah Morris and starting offensive tackle Monroe Freeling to the 2026 NFL Draft.
Meriwether originally signed with Georgia as a member of the 2023 class. This year, only six members of the Class of 2023 will be entering their fourth season at Georgia (assuming no more portal or draft departures).

Georgia is expected to return standout freshmen Dontrell Glover and Juan Gaston next season, as well as centers Drew Bobo and Ernest Green. Other returning offensive linemen include Jazhar Jackson, Marcus Harrison, Cortez Smith, Malachi Tolliver, Daniel Calhoun and Michael Uni. One potential freshman who could start is incoming four-star Oken Ogboko.
