Georgia RB Branson Robinson Plans to Enter Transfer Portal Due to…
Branson Robinson sat on the bench, his helmet resting on his knee as the cheers of 90,000 fans echoed across Sanford Stadium. The Georgia Bulldogs were rolling, as they often did, but for Branson, the victories had begun to feel hollow.
He loved Georgia—loved the tradition, the camaraderie, and the roar of the crowd. But in his second year, it was clear his role wasn’t growing the way he’d hoped. Behind a stacked backfield, he’d spent most of his time watching rather than playing. He had always envisioned himself as the feature back, making game-changing plays, but that vision seemed out of reach in Athens.
After yet another game where he saw only a handful of snaps, Branson met with Coach Smart.
“Coach, I appreciate everything you’ve done for me, but I need more,” Branson said, his voice steady but tinged with frustration.
Coach Smart nodded, his expression understanding. “You’re a talented player, Branson. But competition here is fierce, and opportunities can take time.”
Branson had heard this before. Time wasn’t something he wanted to wait for anymore.
The decision didn’t come easily. He called his family, spoke with his high school coach, and prayed about his next steps. Ultimately, he knew he had to bet on himself.
When Branson announced his intention to enter the transfer portal, the news sent shockwaves through the college football world. Fans debated the decision. Some understood, while others were disappointed. Branson didn’t let the noise affect him.
“This isn’t about leaving Georgia. It’s about chasing my dreams,” he told reporters. “I want to be on the field, helping my team win. I need to find the right fit for me.”
As the portal opened, offers flooded in from programs across the country. Branson felt a mix of excitement and nervousness—he was leaving behind comfort for the unknown. But deep down, he knew this was his chance to shine.
Wherever he landed, Branson was determined to prove that he wasn’t just another name in the portal. He was a future star, waiting for the right stage to show the world what he could do.
