Former Virginia quarterback Greyson Lambert is being recruited by Georgia, coach Mark Richt confirmed Tuesday.

According to Yahoo Sports, Richt said at a Pigskin event that he is pursuing Lambert, a graduate transfer who is eligible to play in 2015. "It's an interesting dynamic," Richt told Yahoo Sports.

Lambert platooned last season with Matt Johns, starting nine games and finishing the year 154 for 261 passing (59 percent) for 1,631 yards with 10 touchdowns and 11 interceptions. However, after spring ball, Lambert was dropped to second string on the depth chart, and he announced his transfer shortly thereafter.
