Georgia pulls wide receiver Isiah Canion from rival Georgia Tech

Wide receiver was a position of need for Georgia in the transfer portal, as the Bulldogs will lose six of their top seven pass catchers from this past season. Zachariah Branch entered the 2026 NFL draft, while Dillon Bell, Colbie Young and Noah Thomas exhausted their collegiate eligibility.

Canion had a productive 2025 season for the Yellow Jackets, catching 33 passes for 480 yards and four touchdowns. Against Georgia on Nov. 28, Canion caught four passes for 54 yards.

At 6-foot-4, Canion gives Georgia the type of big-bodied outside receiver the Bulldogs had in Thomas and Young this past season.

Canion was high school teammates with current Georgia players Isaiah Gibson and Rasean Dinkins at Warner Robins High School.

Georgia previously landed Clemson safety Khalil Barnes via the transfer portal.

Canion joins a wide receiver group that will heavily lean on unproven players. Talyn Taylor, Sacovie White-Helton, Landon Roldan and CJ Wiley all are primed for larger roles next season.

London Humphreys is the only returning Georgia receiver who had more than 10 catches this season. He caught 18 passes for 276 yards and three touchdowns.

By transferring to Georgia, Canion will face his former team Nov. 28 at Sanford Stadium.

Players have until Jan. 16 to enter the transfer portal.

Georgia’s 2025 season came to an end following a 39-34 loss to Ole Miss in the College Football Playoff.
