Georgia Lands Former Alabama No. 1 QB Dylan Lonergan, Who Confirms Georgia as His Stepping Stone
In a stunning move, former Alabama No. 1 quarterback recruit Dylan Lonergan has committed to Georgia, marking a new chapter in his college football career. The highly touted signal-caller, who was once considered the future of Alabama’s quarterback room, has opted to transfer to the Bulldogs with a clear goal in mind: to use Georgia as a stepping stone to the NFL.
Lonergan, a 6-foot-2, 215-pound dual-threat quarterback from the 2023 class, was one of the top QB prospects when he signed with Alabama. However, after spending his freshman year behind Bryce Young and Jalen Milroe, the talented quarterback decided to explore other opportunities for a starting role. Georgia, with its championship pedigree and elite coaching staff under Kirby Smart, presented the perfect opportunity for Lonergan to make his mark and develop further.
In his announcement, Lonergan spoke candidly about his decision, emphasizing that Georgia’s winning culture and pro-style offense aligned with his long-term goals. “Georgia is the place where I can compete at the highest level, and I see it as my next step toward the NFL,” Lonergan said. “They’ve produced top-tier quarterbacks, and I know Coach Smart and the staff will help me get where I need to be.”
For Georgia, landing Lonergan is a major coup. With starting quarterback Carson Beck entering his final year, the Bulldogs are looking to secure a future star at the position. Lonergan’s arm strength, mobility, and football IQ make him a perfect fit for Georgia’s balanced offensive scheme, and fans are eager to see how he fits into the Bulldogs’ quest for another national title.
