In 2019, Fromm threw for 2,860 yards with 24 touchdowns and five interceptions. His junior campaign didn’t quite live up to expectations after he was considered a preseason Heisman Trophy candidate.
However, Fromm’s final game with the Bulldogs was strong during their 26-14 victory over Baylor in the Sugar Bowl. He went 20-for-30 with 250 yards and two TDs.

After the Sugar Bowl, Fromm remained tight-lipped about his decision to enter the draft and declined to address it with reporters.
Many expected Georgia to be title contenders in 2020 if Fromm returned for his senior season and argued that he could use another year to improve his draft stock.
With LSU to lose Joe Burrow, and Tua Tagovailoa leaving Alabama for the draft, it could leave the SEC with no true favorite. If Fromm stayed, the Bulldogs would have likely cruised to the SEC East title.
Georgia fell short of the College Football Playoff for the second straight season. The Bulldogs finished with a 12–2 record, their only losses coming to South Carolina and LSU.
