Quarterback JT Daniels received an NCAA waiver to play for Georgia in 2020.
Daniels announced in May he was transferring to Georgia from Southern California. On Monday, he posted his good news on Twitter but added he'd have nothing else to say about the matter.
"Thank you to the NCAA for granting me immediate eligibility and allowing me to play football this fall," he wrote. "I will not comment on the waiver or transfer, but look forward to a great 2020 season with my teammates."
A five-star recruit in the 2019 class, Daniels reclassified, graduated from high school a year early and started 11 games as a true freshman for the Trojans in 2018, throwing for 2,672 yards, 14 touchdowns and 10 interceptions. In USC's 2019 opener, he tore multiple ligaments in his right knee just before halftime.
With Kedon Slovis expected to start after impressing as a true freshman in Daniels' absence, Daniels entered the transfer portal in April, though he did not rule out a return to USC at the time.
Daniels is the second high-profile quarterback to transfer to Georgia this offseason, after Wake Forest's Jamie Newman made the move as a graduate transfer in January.
The Bulldogs are seeking a replacement for Jake Fromm, who was drafted by the Buffalo Bills in April after three years as a starter.
