Georgia defensive back Chris Peal enters transfer portal
Georgia defensive back Chris Peal enters transfer portal Redshirt sophomore Georgia Bulldogs defensive back Chris Peal is entering the NCAA transfer portal. Peal is one of five Georgia players in the portal. The 6-foot-1, 195-pound defensive back played in four games for Georgia in 2024. He recorded just one tackle. Peal saw the majority of his playing time early in the season despite having a labrum injury prior to the season. He played against Clemson, Tennessee Tech, Kentucky and UMass. "Chris Peal had a labral repair at the end of spring," said Georgia Bulldogs head coach Kirby Smart ahead of Georgia's 2024 fall camp. Peal is a former four-star recruit. He played high school football for Providence Day School in Charlotte, North Carolina. Peal played in Georgia's dominant Orange Bowl win over Florida State as a freshman and recorded one tackle in his lone appearance of the 2023 college football season. Peal was not expected to start for Georgia in 2025, but his likely departure is a blow for Georgia's defensive depth and continuity. Peal will have three years of eligibility remaining at his transfer destination. Peal joins walk-on receiver Luke Bennett, receiver Nitro Tuggle, running back Branson Robinson and offensive lineman Marques Easley in entering the transfer portal this spring. The spring transfer portal window is open from April 16 to April 25.
