The Georgia Bulldogs' offseason exodus continues, as starting guard Jordan Ross plans to enter the transfer portal, becoming the third starter to seek a new program. This significant loss further tests the roster's continuity following the departures of key playmakers Jeremiah Wilkinson and Somto Cyril.
Ross, who transferred to Georgia from Saint Mary's ahead of the 2025-26 season, brought experience and efficiency to the Bulldogs' backcourt. In his lone season in Athens, he averaged 6.7 points, 2.5 rebounds, and 2.3 assists per game, starting 25 of his 32 appearances and helping guide the team to the NCAA Tournament.
While his production saw a dip from his standout sophomore year at Saint Mary's—a transition often faced when moving into the rigorous SEC—Ross remained a valuable contributor. He dealt with ankle issues late in the season, which may have impacted his playing time and rhythm, but he consistently made the most of his minutes on the floor.
A former top-100 national recruit and the No. 5 player out of Arizona in the 2023 class, Ross's blend of talent and proven experience is sure to attract significant interest when the portal opens. For Georgia, the focus now shifts to rebuilding a backcourt that has lost a core piece of its identity, a challenge that will define their upcoming season.
