Current Clemson Tigers backup quarterback Chase Brice has announced that he will be entering the transfer portal this year. With the news of his departure, fellow quarterback Trevor Lawrence has taken the high road with his goodbye message to his former colleague.
Lawrence retweeted Brice’s announcement on his account, writing that he is sad that one of his best friends in the team will be leaving. However, he is also excited about the career possibilities that the transfer portal could offer to the backup quarterback.
It can be remembered that Brice had a huge role in Clemson’s great run in 2018.
When Trevor Lawrence went down because of an injury in a game against the Syracuse Oranges, Brice stepped up and helped the team bounce back. That helped clear the way to a national championship title for the Tigers.
Sad to see one of my best friends leave, but more excited to see how his journey ends up!! Love you dude https://t.co/nasfW2HI1c

Will Chase Brice transfer to the Georgia Bulldogs
With Chase Brice now available for the transfer portal, the Georgia Bulldogs may be making a play for him. Brice himself accidentally started the speculations after he changed his Twitter profile picture to that of him wearing a Quincy Carter UGA jersey as a child.
It is highly likely that the Georgia Bulldogs asked him to take down the post because he deleted it a few minutes later.
It would not be illogical for Brice to head to the Georgia Bulldogs. He was a three-star prospect from the state’s Grayson High School, after all.
