Georgia Tech QB Zach Gibson Enters Transfer Portal
The Yellow Jackets have lost another player to the transfer portal.
On Monday afternoon, redshirt junior quarterback Zach Gibson announced on X that he would be entering the transfer portal.
His announcement comes on the heels of his brother, tackle Tyler Gibson, also entering the transfer portal. It will be interesting to see if the two of them end up committing to the same new destination. Gibson enters the portal as a grad transfer.
Gibson now joins linebacker Ashton Heflin, running back Jamie Felix, wide receiver Juju Lewis, offensive linemen Wing Green, Elias Cloy, and Tyler Gibson, defensive linemen Kyle Kennard, Bryston Dixon, Ezra Odinjor, Jason Moore, and Malcolm Pugh, and cornerback Kenan Johnson as players that have entered the transfer portal from Georgia Tech.

In his time at Georgia Tech, Gibson played in six games, starting three after former starter Jeff Sims went down with an injury. He threw for 589 yards, one touchdown, and two interceptions on a 54.8% completion percentage. The highlight of his tenure at Tech came against No. 13 North Carolina, where he completed 72.2% of his passes for 184 yards and led the GT offense to a massive upset win. He also played well against Georgia, posting a season-high 191 yards on a 54.2% completion percentage as the Jackets played an excellent first half of offense before faltering against the eventual national champions.
Gibson was a part of the competition for the starting QB spot against Haynes King and Zach Pyron but ultimately lost out to King. He did not appear in a game during the 2023 season.
Gibson's contributions to the program as both a player and leader will be missed - best of luck to Zach wherever he lands!
