It appears Kirby Smart‘s recruiting efforts have paid off.
Earlier in the week, the Georgia head coach confirmed that he was “actively recruiting” Brice Ramsey, the quarterback who UGA announced in March would be transferring out of the UGA football program. Thursday, Ramsey’s mother confirmed that her son would remain with the Bulldogs.
“Brice has committed to finishing out his time at the University of Georgia,” Yolanda Ramsey told Dawgs247.com. “After visiting and talking with other schools, he could not get past the part of where he is heart was and that is at UGA at the end of the day.”
The specific schools to which Ramsey spoke haven’t been detailed.
Ramsey played in 24 games during his time with the Bulldogs. He completed 45 of 74 passes for 582 yards four touchdowns and four interceptions. The past two seasons, Ramsey also punted the ball a total of 45 times, averaging 38.7 yards per boot.
With the return, UGA is now back up to three scholarship quarterbacks on the roster — Ramsey, sophomore and returning starter Jacob Eason and freshman Jake Fromm. It’s likely Ramsey will battle Fromm for the backup job behind Eason. The fifth-year senior could also see some time again as a punter.
