Georgia Tech has been on a roll lately in the transfer portal and that did not stop today. A few days after landing FIU transfer wide receiver Eric Rivers, his
highly touted teammate is joining him. FIU transfer wide receiver Dean Patterson just announced his commitment to the Yellow Jackets.December 20, 2024
Last season, Patterson caught 50 passes for 685 yards and seven touchdowns for the Panthers. He also averaged 13.7 yards per catch. In four years with FIU, Patterson caught 98 passes for 1,406 yards and eight touchdowns. He joins Rivers and South Carolina transfer Debron Gatling as the transfer receivers who have committed to Georgia Tech this cycle. He is the eighth overall transfer commitment for Georgia Tech. Pro Football Focus gave him a 74.
This is big for the Yellow Jackets offense. Patterson is going to join Rivers and Malik Rutherford to give Georgia Tech a nice receiving corps for next season and with quarterback Haynes King back, the Yellow Jackets passing attack has a chance to be very dangerous. Patterson is the second transfer to commit to Georgia Tech today. Earlier this afternoon, Cal transfer tight end J.T. Byrne committed to the Yellow Jackets.
According to 247Sports, the 6'6 240 LBS tight end was ranked as a three-star transfer prospect, the No. 636 player in the transfer portal, and the No. 35 tight end in the portal. Pro Football Focus gave him a 67.5 grade on offense this season, including a 78.5 run-blocking grade. Hawes was a tremendous asset in the run game this year and Byrne looks like he can step in and fill that role.
