THE Georgia Bulldogs lost quite a bit of offensive line depth to the transfer portal this offseason. The last Georgia The lineman to enter the portal is redshirt sophomore Jamal Meriweather.
The 6-foot-7, 305-pound offensive lineman made 12 appearances for Georgia in 2025. Meriweather played as a reserve offensive lineman and on special teams. The talented lineman is a former four-star recruit from Brunswick High School in Brunswick, Georgia.

Meriweather’s departure represents another blow to Georgia’s offensive line depth. The Bulldogs lose starting offensive guard Micah Morris and starting offensive tackle Monroe Freeling to the 2026 NFL Draft.
Meriweather originally signed with Georgia as a member of the Class of 2023. Only six members of the Class of 2023 will reach their fourth season at UGA this year (assuming no more portal or draft departures).
