With the Georgia football program looking to add to its national title hopes, the team won’t be getting back a player who’s been with the school since 2022. As the Georgia president urged football programs to follow the SEC’s rules of not adding former NFL players, it could be the reason why the Bulldogs won’t be able to bring back JaCorey Thomas.
While the LSU Tigers are under fire for obtaining Dae’Quan Wright and Zxavian Harris, who were on NFL rosters a short time ago, fellow SEC team in the Georgia football program might not want to join them.
Former Bulldogs safety JaCorey Thomas is entering the transfer portal “after being granted” a temporary restraining order (TPO), according to Pete Nakos of On3 Sports, as he went through the Carolina Panthers’ rookie minicamp.

“NEW: Former Georgia safety JaCorey Thomas has entered the transfer portal after being granted a TRO earlier this week for a 5th year of eligibility, [Pete Nakos] reports,” On3 Sports’ account, Transfer Portal, wrote on X, formerly Twitter.
Nakos would also report that West Virginia is “the top school to watch” to land Thomas in the transfer portal.
A TRO was granted by a judge in Dallas, Texas, to 40 players who will get a year of eligibility added for the 2026 season, as Thomas was one of the names listed, via On3 Sports. Thomas was a starter for the Bulldogs in 2025, logging 45 tackles and one sack.
At any rate, it remains to be seen how this college football story progresses as more players who thought their collegiate careers were done have just been given another year. For the Bulldogs, they’re focused on the upcoming season, which starts Saturday against the Tennessee State Tigers.
