Georgia Tech Offensive Tackle Jakiah Leftwich Will Enter the Transfer Portal

Leftwich is a talented player but with Georgia Tech returning the bulk of their starters on the offensive line, it made sense for him to explore opportunities. Hopefully, he can find the right situation for him and make the most of it.
