Former Georgia Bulldogs defensive lineman Bear Alexander is officially entering the NCAA transfer portal. Alexander controversially elected to redshirt midway through his third season of college football.
Alexander transferred to the USC Trojans ahead of the 2023 college football season has two years of eligibility left. The former Georgia defensive lineman recorded just five tackles in three games with USC in 2024.
“Winner takes all,” said Alexander via social media on the day of the SEC championship game, which may have been a reference to him either transferring to Georgia or Texas.
Bear Alexander is a former four-star recruit. A major reason why he transferred to USC was to have a larger role with the Trojans, but he played around 30% of the snaps in USC’s game against the Michigan Wolverines, which led to him deciding to redshirt and entering the portal again to the dismay of USC coach Lincoln Riley.

In 2023, Alexander recorded 47 tackles and 1.5 sacks for a porous USC defense, which was the most productive year of his college career. Many Georgia fans remember Alexander for recording a sack in UGA’s dominant 65-7 national championship win over TCU.
