CHAD LINDBERG OL PORTAL FROM GA
# 78 6' 6" 324 OL
On Sunday,
Georgia football offensive lineman Chad Lindberg announced his decision to enter the transfer portal. Lindberg shared his plans in a tweet, stating he intends to transfer as a graduate with two years of eligibility remaining.
The former four-star recruit signed with UGA out of League City, Texas as a member of the 2020 recruiting class. He was rated as the No. 13 offensive tackle in his class, per 247Sports Composite.
Lindberg (6-foot-6, 325 pounds) has served as a backup along Georgia's offensive front for several years. He played in 12 games for the Bulldogs last season as a rotational offensive lineman, a part of UGA's "Jumbo" package and special teams contributor. Lindberg appeared in four games in 2021 after not seeing the field as a freshman. He played in six games in 2022.
Lindberg is the 20th scholarship player and fourth offensive lineman to enter the transfer portal this offseason. Austin Blaske, Aliou Bah and Joshua Miller chose the same route during the early window.
Maybe someone will give him a chance as a starter, or maybe he's not a starter, especially in the GA first team offensive line. Some players sit the pine and occasionally get to play and some don't. Obviously he thinks he can play, thus the transfer portal. We'll see. As Legacy said, Coach Nixon is following him on X.
