It's been a busy day on the football front as two Georgia Bulldogs announced they are leaving school early to apply for the NFL Draft with two others transferring to other schools.

None of the news came particularly as a surprise.

That includes quarterback Justin Fields, who is transferring to Ohio State after one season with the Bulldogs playing behind starter Jake Fromm.

He wasn't the only one.

Freshman tight end Luke Ford announced he is transferring to Illinois to be closer to his family, including his grandparents, whom he said are in failing health.

Meanwhile, running back Elijah Holyfield, wide receivers Mecole Hardman, Riley Ridley and tight each Isaac Nauta announced for the NFL Draft.

“We wish the best to Mecole Hardman, Elijah Holyfield, Isaac Nauta and Riley Ridley as they pursue their careers at the next level. All four of these juniors contributed significantly to our success during the last two seasons and we look forward to them making the best out of their shot at the NFL.," Georgia head coach Kirby Smart said. "As with all our players, we also will encourage them to complete their degrees to get prepared for the next chapter of their lives.”

Nauta finished the year as Georgia’s third-leading receiver with 30 catches for 430 yards and three touchdowns.

With Nauta and Ford both moving on, that leaves Charlie Woerner, John FitzPatrick, and incoming freshman Ryland Goede as Georgia's lone scholarship tight ends, assuming the Bulldogs don't add an additional player during the February signing day.
