Georgia Bulldogs starting point guard Silas Demary Jr. is expected to enter the NCAA transfer portal. Demary Jr. led Georgia in assists (3.1) and steals (1.7) during the 2024-2025 college basketball season.
Demary Jr., who briefly considered transferring away from Georgia last season, helped UGA return to the NCAA Tournament. He scored 15 points in Georgia's 89-68 defeat to Gonzaga in March Madness.
Demary Jr., a sophomore, is Georgia's second-leading scorer (13.5 points per game). His departure is a big blow to head coach Mike White. The Bulldogs are also expected to lose their leading scored, forward Asa Newell, to the 2025 NBA draft, so Georgia will likely be rebuilding a lot of their roster this offseason.
"Silas Demary, in the past month, has played as well as just about any guard in college basketball," said Mike White after UGA's loss to Gonzaga. "(He) decided to elevate his play, be more aggressive offensively, probably should have been all-league, should have been All-SEC defensive team."
Demary Jr. scored at least 15 points in each of Georgia's last 10 games and he scored over 20 points in four of those contests.
ESPN's Jonathan Givony reported the Demary Jr. is headed to the transfer portal. The 6-foot-5, 195-pound guard will have two seasons of eligibility left. Demary Jr. made the All-SEC freshman team during the 2023-2024 college basketball season.
Demary Jr. is expected to be one of the top players in the transfer portal and projects to start at wherever he ends up transferring to (likely a Power Five school). If Demary Jr. leaves UGA and Asa Newell heads to the NBA, then Georgia will lose four of its five leading scorers from the 2024-2025 season.
Demary Jr.'s likely departure is a big deal for Georgia because senior guards Tyrin Lawrence and Dakota Leffew are both out of eligibility. Georgia's other top guards are rising juniors Blue Cain and De'Shayne Montgomery.
