Multiple media outlets reported Tuesday night that Georgia redshirt freshman quarterback Jacob Park has left the program.

The 6-foot-4, 202-pounder from Goose Creek, S.C., battled redshirt sophomore Brice Ramsey and redshirt junior Faton Bauta for the starting quarterback job this spring. At the G-Day spring game, however, Park was the only one of the three who did not receive first-team snaps.

Bulldogs coach Mark Richt said after G-Day that Park has undeniable arm talent but needs to get more comfortable in the system.

Last Wednesday, the Bulldogs added Virginia transfer Greyson Lambert to the quarterback race.

247Sports.com was the first to report Park's departure. Georgia had not confirmed his exit as of late Tuesday evening.

Park was a four-star prospect in the 2014 class, and he was rated the No. 4 quarterback nationally by Rivals.com and 247Sports.
