Georgia Tech TE/WR David Prince Announces Decision to Enter Transfer Portal
David Prince, a redshirt freshman tight end/receiver at Georgia Tech, has announced he will enter the transfer portal. Prince, who was part of the 2024 recruiting class, did not play during his true freshman season and recently transitioned to wide receiver during spring practice.
The transfer portal for college football closes this week, and while Georgia Tech has seen limited departures, they’ve experienced a few losses in recent days. Tight end Jackson Long entered the portal yesterday, and now Prince has made the decision to follow suit.
During the spring, Georgia Tech wide receivers coach Trent McKnight shared his thoughts on Prince’s move to receiver:
“DP brings a bigger body and shows promise with his route running. Obviously, he’s still adjusting to the receiver position, but he’s a great guy to have around. The team really likes him, and he fits well in the room. We’re excited about what he can bring to the receiver position.”
As Georgia Tech moves forward, the tight end position will be in the hands of second-year player Luke Harpring, Cal transfer J.T. Byrne, and veteran Brett Seither. During the spring, tight ends coach Nathan Brock expressed confidence in the group’s versatility:
“We’ve done a good job of evaluating players who fit our offensive needs. The first thing we focus on is mentality—hard work, dedication to football, and commitment to their teammates. This group pushes each other every day. J.T. Byrne, for example, is becoming more vocal but remains focused on improving himself. Our spring practices have been about giving everyone reps, from first-team to third-team players, so they can learn and build chemistry. Luke Harpring, for instance, has been getting valuable reps across the board. Overall, this group is doing a great job of supporting each other and coming to work every day. They love football, they love being at Georgia Tech, and I’m excited to keep helping them grow.”
