Syracuse Defensive Lineman Transfer Considering Georgia Football
Syracuse defensive lineman Maraad Watson, a 6-foot-3, 313-pound standout from Irvington, New Jersey, is seriously considering transferring to the Georgia Bulldogs. Watson, a key rotational player for Syracuse last season, is generating significant interest in the transfer portal, with top programs such as Georgia, Ohio State, Texas, and Tennessee vying for his services as they look to strengthen their defensive lines for the 2025 season.
In his role with the Orange, Watson recorded 15 solo tackles and 1 sack, showcasing a combination of power and agility that makes him an attractive option for teams seeking a reliable presence in the trenches. His size and experience make him an ideal fit for any program looking to add a proven contributor to its defensive line.
Whichever team secures Watson will not only gain depth but also a steady force capable of dominating the line of scrimmage and neutralizing offensive linemen—traits highly sought after at the top levels of college football. As recruitment heats up in the transfer portal, Watson remains one of the most intriguing defensive linemen available.
Meanwhile, Georgia continues to prepare for their 2025 season opener against the Marshall Thundering Herd at Sanford Stadium. The Bulldogs are riding a more than 30-game win streak at home and are undefeated in season openers under head coach Kirby Smart. However, Georgia has already seen three players—Branson Robinson, Marques Easley, and Nitro Tuggle—depart through the transfer portal.
