In his three seasons with UGA, Mecole Hardman caught 60 passes for 961 yards and 11 touchdowns. He also rushed 13 times for 97 yards and two touchdowns.

Mecole Hardman Jr. (5-11, 183) played at Elbert County High School in Bowman, Georgia. He was a five-star recruit and Top 50 player before signing with Georgia in 2016.

Hardman is the third Georgia Bulldogs player to announce his intention to leave for the NFL today. Earlier this afternoon, junior tight end Isaac Nauta and junior wide receiver Riley Ridley both announced their decisions to enter the 2019 NFL Draft.

Georgia is also losing freshman tight end Luke Ford via a transfer to Illinois and, likely, Justin Fields via a transfer to Ohio State.
