Chauncey Manac came to Georgia as a highly-touted recruit. He’ll now leave the Bulldogs after barely making a dent.
247Sports.com was the first to report that Manac had decided to leave Kirby Smart‘s second-year football program. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution subsequently confirmed through the linebacker’s aunt that the plan is for Manac to transfer to Garden City Community College in Kansas.
The recruiting website added that Manac will be enrolling at the junior college “later today and could suit up for the Broncbusters as soon as this weekend.”
“From there I don’t now,” the aunt, Beth Leviton, told the Journal-Constitution. “Right now we have nothing against Georgia. We love them. They’ve taken care of him. And nothing but the best. But he’s wanting to play.
A four-star member of Smart’s first recruiting class, Manac was rated as the No. 10 weakside defensive end in the country and the No. 14 player at any position in the state of Georgia. Only one defensive member of that class, tackle Julian Rochester, was rated higher than Manac.
As a true freshman last season, Manac took a redshirt.
