On November 30, Georgia Tech sophomore B-back Marcus Marshall announced his intent to transfer, eventually landing on James Madison to continue his academic and athletic careers. In the time since, four more Georgia Tech players have announced their intent to transfer.
To many, that looks awfully bad. Five players leaving the program in a little over a month would typically suggest some sort of issue that players have with their coaches, or a coach leaving, or some sense of unrest within the program.
That’s not the case for Georgia Tech here.
Marcus Marshall’s transfer is tough for anyone outside of his family and the coaching staff to explain, but he’s transferring closer to home, and to his father’s alma mater.
