Georgia defensive back Chris Peal enters transfer portal
Redshirt sophomore Georgia Bulldogs defensive back Chris Peal is entering the NCAA transfer portal. Peal is one of five Georgia players in the portal.
The 6-foot-1, 195-pound defensive back played in four games for Georgia in 2024. He recorded just one tackle. Peal saw the majority of his playing time early in the season despite having a labrum injury prior to the season. He played against Clemson, Tennessee Tech, Kentucky and UMass.
"Chris Peal had a labral repair at the end of spring," said Georgia Bulldogs head coach Kirby Smart ahead of Georgia's 2024 fall camp.
Peal is a former four-star recruit. He played high school football for Providence Day School in Charlotte, North Carolina. Peal played in Georgia's dominant Orange Bowl win over Florida State as a freshman and recorded one tackle in his lone appearance of the 2023 college football season.
Peal was not expected to start for Georgia in 2025, but his likely departure is a blow for Georgia's defensive depth and continuity. Peal will have three years of eligibility remaining at his transfer destination.
Peal joins walk-on receiver Luke Bennett, receiver Nitro Tuggle, running back Branson Robinson and offensive lineman Marques Easley in entering the transfer portal this spring.
The spring transfer portal window is open from April 16 to April 25.

Collins hits 3-run homer, Priester stifles Braves in Brewers' 3-1 win
ATLANTA (AP) — Isaac Collins hit a three-run homer, Quinn Priester allowed just one more hit over seven innings after surrendering a first-pitch home run, and the Milwaukee Brewers beat the Atlanta Braves 3-1 on Monday night. Priester (11-2) struck out four and walked two while throwing 90 pitches as the Brewers improved to a major league-best 68-44. Jurickson Profar hit Priester's first pitch of the game over the right-field wall to put the Braves ahead. It was Profar's fourth home run of the year. Collins, the NL rookie of the month, made it 3-1 in the fourth with his drive to right. Erick Fedde (3-12), who made his first home start with the Braves, pitched 5 1/3 innings while giving up three runs. Aaron Bummer came in as relief and posted the first strikeout of the game for Atlanta in the seventh inning. Ozzie Albies had his five-game hitting streak snapped as the Braves finished with just three hits. All-Star Trevor Megill picked up his 25th save of the season for the Brewers in a perfect ninth inning. Key moment With runners at the corners in the eighth inning, Joey Ortiz caught a hard line drive over second base for the Brewers' second out. Abner Uribe escaped the inning and preserved the lead as a result of Ortiz's acrobatic catch. Key stat The Braves stranded six runners on base. Up next RHP Freddy Peralta (12-5, 3.03 ERA) is slated to start for the Brewers on Tuesday in the second game of the series, while LHP Joey Wentz (2-2, 5.02 ERA) is expected to take the mound for the Braves. ___ AP MLB:

Mariners' Cal Raleigh reveals most ‘surprising' thing about Home Run Derby win
The post Mariners' Cal Raleigh reveals most 'surprising' thing about Home Run Derby win appeared first on ClutchPoints. Ken Griffey Jr. is no longer the only Seattle Mariners player to ever win the MLB Home Run Derby. It is a two-man club now, as he is joined by catcher Cal Raleigh, who won the event on Monday night at Truist Park in Atlanta. Raleigh further proved he's the king of the long ball thus far in the 2025 MLB season, as he added the Derby title to his achievements this year, including, of course, the fact that he is the current home run leader in the big leagues. That seemingly added to the surprise of Raleigh about his win. 'Usually, the guy that's leading the league in homers doesn't win the whole thing,' Raleigh said after beating Tampa Bay Rays infielder Junior Caminero in the championship round of the Home Run Derby (h/t Jesse Rogers of ESPN). 'That's as surprising to me as anybody else.' Raleigh nearly did not make it past the first round of the tournament, where he hit from both sides of the plate. His 17 home runs in that round were tied with Athletics star Brent Rooker, but a tie-breaker gave the Mariners star the edge. Matched up against Oneil Cruz of the Pittsburgh Pirates in the semifinals round, Raleigh blasted 19 home runs against Cruz's 13 to advance to the finals. On the other side of the bracket, Caminero defeated Minnesota Twins star Byron Buxton, 8-7, to secure a seat in the championship. When it was all said and done, Raleigh had hit a total of 54 home runs to his name, 10 more than anyone from the rest of the field. Caminero had 44 while Cruz racked up 34. New York Yankees infielder Jazz Chisholm Jr. finished with the fewest blasts, with only three home runs during the first round. The 28-year-old Raleigh has been a terror at the plate this season for opposing pitchers, as he entered the MLB All-Star break with the most home runs in the big leagues. He concluded the first half of the season with 38 dingers, while hitting .259/.376/.634. Those 38 home runs are already a career-high for Raleigh, who had not recorded more than 34 homers in a season before 2025.
