Georgia Bulldogs basketball forward Dylan James is transferring to the George Washington Revolutionaries. James joins a George Washington program that finished eighth in the Atlantic 10 during the 2025-26 college basketball season. The Revolutionaries went 19-16 (8-10 Atlantic 10) and lost in the second round of the National Invitational Tournament (NIT).

James is ranked as a three-star transfer. The 6-foot-9 forward will provide a steadying defensive presence for George Washington and will likely have an expanded role with the Revolutionaries. 247Sports ranks James as the No. 251 transfer in the country and the No. 50 power forward.

James is coming off a 2025-26 season where he helped Georgia make a second straight March Madness appearance. The Bulldogs lost to Saint Louis in the NCAA Tournament in disappointing fashion. James averaged a career-best 4.5 points and 3.8 rebounds per game during his junior season.
