Georgia redshirt junior receiver Dominick Blaylock, who finally played an entire season with the Bulldogs, is entering the NCAA's transfer portal.
The 6-foot-1, 205-pounder from Marietta had 15 receptions in 15 games for the national champions, amassing 227 yards and 15.1 yards per catch. His one touchdown occurred from 10 yards out in the 55-0 dismantling of Vanderbilt on Oct.15, and his final catch was a 20-yarder against Ohio State in the Peach Bowl national semifinal on New Year's Eve.
Blaylock, the stepson of former Chattanooga Lookouts investor John Woods, is scheduled to graduate from Georgia this spring and will have two years of eligibility remaining.
Offered a scholarship by former South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier as an eighth-grader, Blaylock ascended to 247Sports.com five-star status during the 2019 signing cycle. His promising debut season consisted of 18 catches for 310 yards (17.2 per reception) and five touchdowns, and he tallied Georgia's first score in key seven-point wins that season over Florida and Auburn.
In the 2019 Southeastern Conference championship game against LSU, however, Blaylock tore his left anterior cruciate ligament, and he tore the same ACL in August 2020 to wipe out that season. He did not return until the 11th game of the 2021 season against Charleston Southern.
Blaylock has been among several Georgia receivers who have battled injuries in recent years, but the Bulldogs addressed that position area right before Christmas via the transfer portal by landing Missouri's Dominic Lovett and Mississippi State's Rara Thomas.
