Georgia safety Joenel Aguero set to enter the transfer portal
Georgia saw a safety come into the program; now, a safety is going out. Rising senior safety Joenel Aguero has announced his decision to enter the transfer portal. Georgia landed Clemson transfer Khalil Barnes on Sunday.
Aguero spent a lot of the 2025 season as a starter. The junior had 39 total tackles, one interception, and two passes defensed.
Aguero suffered a wrist injury before the SEC Championship Game and was unable to play against Alabama in Atlanta. He also did not play against Ole Miss in last week’s Sugar Bowl loss.
