Georgia Tech has been searching for a second transfer wide receiver to help on the outside and they found their guy today.

Duquesne transfer wide receiver Abdul Janneh committed to the Yellow Jackets this afternoon. Janneh becomes the second transfer wide receiver that the Yellow Jackets have added, with Texas A&M transfer Chase Lane committing to Brent Key and the Yellow Jackets last month.

Janneh is a 6'3 180 LBS wide receiver that has received plenty of interest from other schools since entering the transfer portal. Janneh has received offers from NC State, Washington State, Virginia Tech, Marshall, App State, Georgia State, Charlotte, Georgia Southern, Coastal Carolina, Old Dominion, Toledo, and Utah State.

Janneh is projected to be an outside receiver with his size and ball skills and I think that is the thing that stands out the most when watching him play. Last season, he caught 43 passes for 579 yards and was very good at catching the ball in traffic and winning his matchups.

This is a huge addition to Georgia Tech and I think Janneh is going to be an instant impact player. The Yellow Jackets are losing Nate McCollum (transfer), Ryan King (transfer), Malachi Carter (out of eligibility), and EJ Jenkins (out of eligibility). The wide receiver position was not a strong one for Georgia Tech and the additions of Janneh and Lane.
