Colbie Young validates spring buzz with ‘Megatron’ showing in Georgia spring game

ATHENS — Saturday was the first time most people saw transfer wide receiver Colbie Young in a Georgia uniform.

And after a strong spring , Young backed up the hype with his performance during Georgia’s spring game.

“I’m not surprised by what Colbie has done. I’m going to be honest, Colbie has not dropped a single fade ball ever since he’s been here,” wide receiver Dillon Bell said. “50-50 ball, nothing is 50-50 with him. It’s like 90-10. He has not dropped a single pass at all. For him to show it out here, I was happy, I was crunk.”

Young had 3 receptions for 27 yards and a touchdown in the 20-20 tie. Two of his receptions came on third down, the first of which went for 13 yards. Young had a defender smothering and covering him, yet he still hauled in the Carson Beck pass for a first down.

That set up his touchdown grab, where Young lept over a helpless Julian Humphrey to bring in Beck’s first touchdown pass.
