Reactions after ex Georgia defensive lineman logs back onto the transfer portal
|Bear Alexander, a former defensive tackle for the Georgia Bulldogs, is back on the NCAA transfer portal after moving from Georgia to USC after just one season. For USC past season, Alexander tallied 1.5 sacks and 47 tackles.
After the spring of 2023, Alexander was listed as the top defensive lineman on the transfer site. He decided to move to USC, where he had a hit-or-miss season for the defensively challenged Trojans.
Alexander used to be a four-star recruit at IMG Academy, and he will be a valuable asset in the transfer market. Numerous top college football institutions across the country will be interested in him because of his experience, talent, and output. Alexander’s eligibility at his new school will last for two more seasons. Officially, the spring transfer portal window opens on April 15.
After Bear Alexander used the transfer portal for the second time during his collegiate career, this is how social media responded.
Alexander is no stranger to changing teams
It is wild though that Bear Alexander has been at 6 different schools since his freshman year of high school.
I’m not gonna act like this isn’t a big loss for USC. But that should’ve been a red flag from jump. pic.twitter.com/QBhM6R02Rl

Alexander to Texas A&M would be interesting
Hearing some rumors that former five-star prospect and current USC DL Bear Alexander is likely to enter the transfer portal.
Not sure if the Aggies would be interested in being his third school, but he’d fit a need at nose tackle. pic.twitter.com/x2eqjoSVN0

Addition by subtraction for USC’s defense?
Bear Alexander rumored to be hitting the transfer portal again. Some people are just simply more trouble than they are worth. USC will instantly get better just by him leaving.

He’s a 2025 Draft First Round lock, don’t blame him for going to get that bread. Prob will earn at least seven figures next season
