Yale Transfer Tight End Jackson Hawes Commits to Georgia Tech
Georgia Tech has added its second transfer of the day and the third in the last 24 hours.
After making some additions on the defensive side of the football, the Yellow Jackets have made their first transfer addition on the offensive side of the ball.
Yale transfer tight end Jackson Hawes announced today that he is going to be transferring to Georgia Tech. Hawes was a second-team All-Conference tight end for Yale this season and last season. For his career, the 6'5 255 LBS tight end caught 35 passes for 375 yards and six touchdowns. Georgia Tech is going to be losing Dylan Leonard and Luke Benson after this season and while they do return Brett Seither and some talented young players at the position, Some experience will be huge for the room.
Hawes is not the first addition from the transfer portal for the Yellow Jackets today.
Louisville linebacker transfer Jackson Hamilton announced on social media this afternoon that he was going to be transferring to Georgia Tech. Hamilton played his high school football in the state of Georgia at Blessed Trinity Catholic and now will be coming back to try and compete for a linebacker spot at Georgia Tech next season. Hamilton has two years of eligibility left.
Tennessee transfer defensive back Warren Burrell
Hamilton played three years for the Cardinals from 2021-2023 and in his three seasons, he totaled 17 tackles and one pass deflection. At 6'1 220 LBS, he will bring athleticism to the position and I am anxious to see how he will fit in the defense next year.
Last night, Tennessee transfer defensive back Warren Burrell committed to the Yellow Jackets.
Burrell played for the Volunteers since 2019 and played his high school football at North Gwinnett High School in Georgia.
From his bio at Tennessee Athletics:
"Experienced cornerback who had a career year in 2021 as one of the Vols’ starters before missing the majority of the 2022 season with an upper body injury … Played in 40 games with 22 starts, all at cornerback, and has two years of eligibility remaining … Accumulated 89 total tackles, has nine PBUs, one interception and a fumble recovery to his credit … Plays with the SEC graduate patch after earning his degree in Dec. 2022."
