A Georgia Bulldog that spent a long time on the transfer portal has found a new home. Former Georgia wide receiver Rara Thomas has agreed to transfer to the Troy Trojans, according to On3.
Thomas started his career as a Mississippi State Bulldog. He spent two seasons in Starkville, Mississippi, racking up 62 catches, 878 yards, and 12 touchdowns before transferring to Georgia in 2023. At Georgia, he caught 23 passes for 383 yards and a touchdown. He missed over three games due to a foot injury, and a broken bone in that foot caused him to miss the SEC championship and Orange Bowl.
He was ranked as On3's No. 11 player still remaining on the transfer portal, so his talent is still appealing. However, his off-field issues were a major concern for some teams. In 2024, he was dismissed from the team following an arrest in July. As a result, he entered the transfer portal over the offseason.
“On Rara, had a chance to sit down and meet with him face-to-face Tuesday, which I think was really important and let him know that he can no longer be a part of the football team,” Smart quoted in August. “He understands that and we wish him nothing but the best moving forward.”
Thomas was one of three Georgia Bulldogs to remain on the transfer portal.
Coincidentally, Thomas will be joining David Daniel-Sisavanh, another former Georgia Bulldog that was dismissed from the team. Thomas will look to show off his immense talent for the Trojans, who went just 4-8 and 3-5 in the Sun Belt Conference.
