Jaden Newell Transfers to Jacksonville, Hopes to End March Madness Drought

The former Georgia walk‑on arrives with his brother Asa, a recent NBA draft pick, aiming to revive the Dolphins' postseason hopes

Jaden Newell, a former walk‑on who spent two seasons with the Georgia Bulldogs, has announced his transfer to Jacksonville University, bringing his college career to a new stage.

Although his time at Georgia was limited to just 28 minutes of game action, Newell earned a scholarship for his final two seasons and will now look to contribute to the Dolphins' roster.

A Brotherly Boost for the Dolphins

Joining him is his older sibling Asa Newell, a first‑round selection of the Atlanta Hawks and the leading scorer for Georgia who helped the Bulldogs reach the NCAA tournament in recent years.

Jacksonville, a program that last appeared in March Madness in 1986, hopes the addition of the Newell brothers can finally end the 38‑year postseason drought and push the team back into the national conversation.
