Amaris Williams joins Braylon Conley at Georgia
Amaris Williams isn’t the only high-profile power conference player to transfer to Georgia. Former USC redshirt freshman cornerback Braylon Conley also committed to transfer to Georgia out of the NCAA transfer portal, according to On3’s Hayes Fawcett. He’ll have three years of eligibility remaining in Athens.
Conley joins the Bulldogs after appearing in nine games, including two starts, as a redshirt freshman this past season, where he tallied 14 total tackles, two tackles for loss, one pass defended and one forced fumble in 2025. He saw action in just one game as a true freshman in 2024, recording one tackle and half a tackle for loss.
The 6-foot, 190-pound Conley signed with USC as a three-star prospect in the 2024 recruiting cycle out of Atascocita (Humble, Texas) High, where he was the No. 65 cornerback in the class and the No. 663 player overall, according to the Rivals Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all three major recruiting media companies.
