Georgia Bulldogs defensive back Jehlen Cannady turned heads at the 2022 spring game. Cannady was disruptive and had tight coverage. He finished the contest with three tackles.
After that performance, it was not shocking when the redshirt sophomore elected to enter the NCAA transfer portal. Jehlen Cannady was able to be higher on the depth chart in spring practice than he would likely be in the fall, when Georgia’s full repertoire of class of 2022 defensive back recruits join the team.
Cannady played at Westside High School in Macon, Georgia, before coming to the University of Georgia as a preferred walk-on in 2020. He played in two games and recorded three tackles for the Bulldogs in 2021.
