Justin Abson, a 6-foot-9 forward for the Georgia Bulldogs basketball team, has entered the NCAA transfer portal as he seeks an extra year of eligibility for the 2026-27 season. Abson, who has completed his eligibility, contributed to Georgia's success with back-to-back NCAA Tournament appearances. During the 2025-26 season, he averaged 2.9 points, 3.6 rebounds, and 1.6 blocks per game over 31 appearances. His performance included an impressive number of blocks given his limited playing time of 11.4 minutes per game. Abson joined Georgia after two seasons with the Appalachian State Mountaineers. With the transfer portal closing soon, he is among several players hoping for a rule change that could allow them to extend their college careers. If unable to secure additional eligibility, Abson may consider professional opportunities, although being selected in the 2026 NBA draft seems unlikely. His departure could impact Georgia, especially after the recent transfer of center Somto Cyril to Miami, leaving coach Mike White in need of experienced players.
