Former Georgia quarterback Brock Vandagriff has announced his transfer to Kentucky, staying within the SEC.

Kentucky is gaining momentum in the recruitment of Georgia Bulldogs QB Brock Vandagriff, who recently entered the transfer portal. 247 Sports football recruiting director Steve Wiltfong has predicted that Vandagriff will choose Kentucky, adding weight to the speculation. Vandagriff's father stated that a decision will be announced within the next two weeks, with South Carolina and Mississippi State also pursuing the highly-touted transfer. The outcome of the recruitment could be revealed soon.
Highly-touted quarterback recruit Brock Vandagriff has entered the transfer portal after three years at the University of Georgia. With two years of eligibility remaining, Vandagriff is reportedly a prime target for the Kentucky Wildcats as they search for a replacement for Devin Leary. Standing at 6'3 and around 205 pounds, Vandagriff was ranked as the #4 quarterback in the class of 2021. Despite being in a crowded QB room at Georgia, Vandagriff saw limited action this season, completing 12 of 18 passes for 165 yards and 2 touchdowns. Kentucky is considered a top contender for Vandagriff, but other schools, such as South Carolina, may also be in the mix.
Georgia head coach Kirby Smart discussed the ongoing quarterback battle during fall camp, emphasizing the importance of managing the offense, understanding the playbook, and executing in critical situations. Carson Beck, the oldest and most experienced of the three contenders, enters camp as the favorite, but Brock Vandagriff and Gunner Stockton also have the talent to win the starting job. Smart highlighted Beck's even-keeled demeanor and intelligence, while acknowledging the athleticism and legs of Vandagriff and Stockton. The departure of offensive coordinator Todd Monken and the arrival of Mike Bobo, who has previous experience at Georgia, adds another layer of intrigue to the competition. The Bulldogs have 25 practices to evaluate the quarterbacks before their season-opener against UT-Martin.
Carson Beck, a junior quarterback for the Georgia Bulldogs, impressed during the team's spring game, going 15-for-22 passing for 231 yards and a touchdown. He is competing against sophomore Brock Vandagriff and redshirt freshman Gunner Stockton for the starting quarterback position. While all three quarterbacks showed promise, Beck's consistency and composure stood out. The Bulldogs are looking to replace Stetson Bennett, who led the team to two national championships and is regarded as one of the best quarterbacks in school history.
Despite Kirby Smart keeping the quarterback competition open, Carson Beck played like the quarterback who should and will get the first shot to succeed or fail as Georgia's starting quarterback. Beck benefited from playing with the first-team offense and was able to sit in the pocket behind the first-team offensive line. Brock Vandagriff and Gunner Stockton are still in the competition, but at this point, Beck's skill set seems to outweigh their upside.

He addressed questions about his future with the team, saying he hasn't thought about transferring and plans to take it day-by-day. Gunner Stockton, the No. 3 quarterback, also had a strong showing.
