Georgia Tech was active on the transfer portal early in the cycle, but now that things have calmed down a bit, where do the Yellowjackets now stand in the transfer portal rankings?

Earlier, Georgia Tech acquired linebackers Braylen Oliver and Andre White Jr., running back Trevion Cooley and quarterback Haynes King. It was a good harvest for the Yellow Jackets and addressed several key spots needing players heading into the 2023 season.

Georgia Tech’s transfer class currently ranks 32nd in the nation and 8th in the ACC, according to 247Sports. The highest ranked transfers the team has brought are Lane and Cooley. ACC teams that rank above Georgia Tech are Florida, North Carolina, Louisville, Miami, Virginia Tech, Virginia, and Syracuse. North Carolina has two commitments from his two former Yellow Jackets, wide receiver Nate McCallum and his defensive back Derrick Allen.
Tech has the ACC’s third-most transfer deals to date. North Carolina is his ninth for the lead, Florida and Louisville are tied for his eighth, and the Yellow Jackets are his sixth. Florida State University has one of the top-ranked transfer classes in the country and has done an excellent job of adding players to a team that has had a successful season so far.

Lane will almost certainly be top of the rotation at the receiver position. The Yellowjackets have lost McCallum, Malachi since last season he lost Carter, EJ Jenkins and Ryan King and I think they will likely add another receiver through the portal at some point.
