Georgia guard Jeremiah Wilkinson plans to enter the transfer portal
Georgia’s leading scorer, Jeremiah Wilkinson, plans to enter the NCAA transfer portal, his agency told On3.
The 6-foot-1 sophomore and native of Powder Springs, Ga., averaged 17.4 points, 2.0 rebounds, and 1.7 assists per game. He shot 41% from the field and 35.7% from three. He had three 30+ point games this season and 10 games in which he scored 20 or more.
“He’s probably our best isolation player. He’s our best guy, especially against teams that are super extended like that, that force you to put your head down,” coach Mike White said of Wilkinson earlier this season. “His speed, of course, getting to the rim and just getting layups. He’s got a unique ability at 6-foot-1, even at this level. It’s just very rare to just put his head down and go for a layup, right? Maybe he gets three or four of those in a game. When you get off to a tough start, he’s also a guy who just plays with an incredible level of confidence, too.”
Wilkinson spent just one season in Athens after transferring in from Cal. As a freshman with the Golden Bears, he earned ACC Sixth Man of the Year honors after averaging 15.1 points per game.
