Georgia Tech's 2026 Transfer Portal: A Tight End Revolution!
The Yellow Jackets are on a roll! Head Coach Brent Key has secured yet another tight end transfer commitment, this time from the talented Gavin Harris, formerly of New Mexico State. But here's where it gets intriguing... This marks the third tight end addition to the team in this transfer cycle, leaving fans buzzing with excitement and anticipation.
Harris, who visited Georgia Tech's campus on Thursday, made the announcement on Instagram, sending ripples of enthusiasm through the fan base. He joins the ranks alongside Chris Corbo (formerly of Dartmouth) and Spencer Mermans (formerly of Yale), all set to work under the guidance of Tech's tight ends coach, Nathan Brock.
The 2025 season saw Harris shine at New Mexico State, where he racked up impressive stats: 37 receptions for 531 yards and a touchdown. But his journey began at Central Michigan, where he spent his sophomore year, contributing 11 catches for 173 yards and two touchdowns, showcasing his versatility as a dual-threat player.
A standout at Judson High School in Texas, Harris initially attended Howard University in 2023, playing in 11 games as a true freshman and making 10 catches for 153 yards and two touchdowns. His decision to transfer to Georgia Tech is a significant move, as he becomes the 17th commitment and the eighth offensive player to join the Yellow Jackets this cycle.
But is this tight end trio a masterstroke or a gamble? With Harris rated as a 3-star transfer prospect by On3 industry rankings, the Jackets are undoubtedly bolstering their offensive arsenal. And this is the part most fans can't wait to see—how this tight end trio will revolutionize Tech's offensive strategy. What do you think? Is this a recipe for success or a potential overkill?
