From Gentry Estes’ list of incoming Georgia players who will make a real impact this season comes this bit about Charlie Hegedus:
The N.C. State transfer was reportedly cleared to play immediately because of an NCAA hardship waiver. A former star in combine settings, Hegedus has reportedly been impressive — and very fast — in summer workouts. [Emphasis added.] Plus, he’s got a history with QB Hutson Mason. This has the makings of a real success story with Hegedus at UGA, and it would be a surprise if he’s not an impact player at some point soon.
Sounds like Coach Ball’s got something to work with there.
Not holding my breath that an NC State cast-off will dominate the SEC. Cannot wait to be wrong.

How was he cast off? Did he have an injury and drop from the team?

I was using the phrase real loosely. Perhaps I should have just said “a former NC State recruit” and left it at that.

Anybody know what the story was in 2013 for him? Apparently he only played in 2012, as a true freshman, and did have 9 receptions which isn’t bad as a true frosh. But then from what I’ve read, he didn’t play at all in 2013, and yet it apparently didn’t count as a redshirt year either because he still has 3 years to play 2.

The article plainly states “Hardship Transfer”. Closer to home? If he’s fast and can catch the ball, all the rest of comments are just peanut butter to try and wade through.

Terrell had some great moments, especially as he got healthy later in the ’94 season. We wouldn’t have tied Auburn and stopped their winning streak without him or beat Tech without him.

It’s hard to get into the game when the best RB in the SEC is just ahead of you. Later, Hearst and Davis, at the same time, were the #1 and #2 runners in the NFL .

After what I personally considered to be a sterling intelligence career during mop up operations after the French losing Indochina kerfluffle, I tried to join the CIA but their so-called HR experts felt that I just didn’t have the right cut of jibe to meet their teamwork requirements. Long story short, I ended up doing some freelance work with Bullwinkle and the rodent and if there’s one thing I can tell you, it’s that’s you never want to let either one of those knuckleheads get their noses inside Natasha’s or anyone else’s tent. I tried to get them to use this as my theme song but they balked and told me, “Who do you think you are? Nick Saban?” At the time I had no idea what that meant but I do now. I mean, Kent State, who would have thought a high-income bracket earner could have come out of that secondary…

“He’s got athleticism, speed and made explosive plays with the ball in his hands in high school.”

Here is another long ball threat….
6-2 210, clocked at 4.42 & 4.44, won his 5A regional in 100 sprint, fastest guy on NC States team. Benches 225 16 times. Speed is more at the top end than acceleration, blows past DB’s on a post pattern. Great hands. Not great moves after the pass, but gets open and doesn’t drop catches.
Nice to see someone transferring in to Georgia.

FWIW, I think Hegedus will help us. It’s just a matter of how long it takes him to get comfortable in our system, which usually takes a while. I suspect he could be ready sometime this year if we need him.
The other thing is his routes, how good of a route-runner he is. If he doesn’t have good burst, his routes will have to be outstanding. Ball can get him there, but if he doesn’t already have that, it might not be this year.

If I remember right he was at NC State because they had a pro style offense. Wolf pack had now gone to the spread. Can play right away if needed because a close family member is very sick and UGA is closer.
