  Solomon Byrd will arrive in Atlanta in the next few weeks with wife, Taysia, and toddler son, Messiah, accompanying him. It's because he has a family that Byrd was willing to transfer to a school across the country to play college football. That perspective proved beneficial for Georgia Tech, which received the commitment from the former Wyoming defensive end (who is from Palmdale, Calif., in Southern California) that he announced Friday. Among the schools that Byrd said he chose Tech over was a school far closer, not to mention more competitive - USC. Proximity to home did not factor into what was ideal for him. "I didn't want that to weigh in because I could be close to home but still not be in the best situation," Byrd said in an interview with The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. "I'd rather be in the best situation. I'm an older dude, as well. I have a family, so it's not like I need to be around parents and friends and family and all of that." A relative unknown - albeit known enough to attract the attention of USC - seeks to make an impact with the Jackets. "I'm not super popular, but I can play football," Byrd said. - Atlanta Journal Constitution
