Georgia Bulldogs second-string quarterback Brock Vandagriff did not take long to find a new college football home. Vandagriff is transferring to the Kentucky Wildcats, who is on Georgia’s 2024 college football schedule, for the 2024 season.
247Sports has the junior quarterback ranked as the No. 6 quarterback in the transfer portal. Kentucky has had some previous success developing a transfer quarterback in Will Levis, who currently starts for the Tennessee Titans.
Vandagriff is a former five-star recruit with excellent mobility. He played in eight games for Georgia in 2023. The talented quarterback completed 12 of 18 passes for 165 passing yards and two touchdowns this season.
How did social media react after Vandagriff announced his intentions to transfer to Kentucky?

Vandagriff was a good teammate
With Vandagriff entering the portal, I was taken back to a moment earlier this year.
After the G Day game, BVG said, “[Beck] threw his first TD and I jumped up and threw my hands in the air… Me and Gunner, we’re just happy for him.”

Liam Coen is a good offensive coordinator
Will Levis, Devin Leary, Brock Vandagriff, Cutter Boley, Stone Saunders. That's why Liam Coen is one of the highest-paid OC's in college football.

Vandagriff saw playing time vs. Kentucky in 2023

UGA fans excited to see Vandagriff with the Wildcats
Brock Vandagriff is about to absolutely COOK at Kentucky. Go be great, kid! #GoDawgs

Should be interesting how Vandagriff develops
Liam Coen did some fun stuff with Will Levis, turning the Penn State transfer into a Top 50 pick.
Curious to see what he does with Brock Vandagriff, who has a similar frame and skill-set. https://t.co/8xOMfALEu5

Kentucky hating on Louisville
One in state school got Tyler Shough… the other got Brock Vandagriff. Dont ever compare us to that scum to the west.

From a Dawg to a (Wild)cat
Georgia transfer QB Brock Vandagriff has officially committed to Kentucky.
Stoops got an up close and personal look at the Dawgs signal caller in the loss in Athens this past season.
Should be a nice fit in the Liam Coen offense in Lexington. pic.twitter.com/e6NPtLVBqn

Breaking: Georgia quarterback Brock Vandagriff is transferring to Kentucky. Had been committed to Oklahoma before transferring to UGA. In the mix behind Carson Beck there, run/pass ability and multiple years of eligibility. Will also have Cutter Boley and TBD in that room.
— Justin Rowland (@RowlandRIVALS) December 6, 2023
Crazy Kentucky football stat
If Vandagriff wins the starting job, it will mark the 8th consecutive season the Wildcats have started a transfer QB.
Kentucky has not started a non-transfer QB since 2015 https://t.co/kpZkTbzczO
