One of Georgia Tech’s young defensive backs has opted to continue his college career elsewhere.
Jayden Davis, a defensive back, announced Tuesday on X, formerly Twitter, that he has entered his name in the NCAA’s transfer portal. Davis is a 6-foot-2, 185-pound graduate of Collins Hill High School who began his career at Cincinnati.
Davis played on 55 special-teams snaps for the Yellow Jackets in 2024 and made an appearance on one defensive play in the team’s loss to Notre Dame. In 2023, he logged seven defensive snaps at Cincinnati.
A native of Suwanee, Davis was a three-star prospect, according to the 247Sports Composite, in the class of 2023 and reportedly had 16 scholarship offers. He originally committed to Louisville in 2022 before signing with Cincinnati.
Davis joins fellow defensive back Taye Seymore, offensive linemen Kai Greer, Patrick Screws, Corey Robinson and Jordan Brown, defensive linemen Horace Lockett, Uche Iloh and Romello Height, wide receivers Eric Singleton Jr., Christian Leary and Leo Blackburn, running back Evan Dickens, linebacker Caleb Dozier and quarterback Zach Pyron as Jackets who have left Tech this offseason.
While 15 players have said they’re leaving Tech, 15 others have announced their plans to transfer to Tech. They are running back Malachi Hosley, defensive end Brayden Manley (Mercer), long snapper Luke Whiting (Florida Atlantic), linebackers Melvin Jordan IV (Oregon State) and Cayden Spaulding (Tennessee Tech, Miller Grove HS), defensive tackle Matthew Alexander (Central Florida, Buford HS), tight ends Harry Lodge (Wake Forest) and J.T. Byrne (California), wide receivers Debron Gatling (South Carolina, Milton HS), Dean Patterson (Florida International) and Eric Rivers (Florida International), offensive linemen Andrew Rosinski (North Carolina, Creekview HS) and JaKolby Jones (Copiah-Lincoln Community College in Mississippi) and defensive backs Kelvin Hill (Alabama-Birmingham, Carrollton HS) and Daiquan White (Eastern Michigan, Creekside HS).
