Georgia WR Luke Bennett, Brother of Stetson Bennett IV, Enters Transfer Portal
Luke Bennett, a wide receiver for the University of Georgia Bulldogs, has entered the NCAA transfer portal. This decision comes after a season where he saw limited playing time, recording a single 2-yard reception in the Orange Bowl victory over Florida State.
Bennett, the younger brother of former Georgia quarterback Stetson Bennett IV, joined the Bulldogs as a preferred walk-on in 2022. His commitment followed in the footsteps of his brother, who also began his college career as a walk-on.
During his time at Georgia, Luke Bennett contributed to the team’s success, including a notable appearance in the 2023 Orange Bowl. However, with the depth of talent at the wide receiver position and the emergence of younger players, his opportunities on the field were limited.
As he enters the transfer portal, Bennett will have the opportunity to explore options that align with his athletic goals and aspirations. His decision reflects the competitive nature of college football and the pursuit of increased playing time and development.
The Bennett family’s legacy at Georgia continues, with Luke’s brother Knox Bennett recently committing to the Bulldogs’ baseball team as a walk-on. While Luke’s football journey at Georgia concludes, his impact on the program remains a part of the Bulldogs’ history.
As the transfer portal period progresses, Luke Bennett’s next steps will be closely watched by programs seeking to add depth and experience to their rosters. His background and family ties to Georgia add an intriguing dimension to his recruitment.
