Georgia Tech received commitments from two more transfers Monday: wide receiver E.J. Jenkins from South Carolina and quarterback Taisun Phommachanh from Clemson. Both announced their decisions Monday. Jenkins will have one season of eligibility remaining after playing one season at South Carolina. Previously, Jenkins had played two seasons at FCS St. Francis, where he caught 39 passes for 779 yards as a sophomore in 2019. Jenkins transferred to South Carolina after St. Francis did not play in the 2020 season because of COVID-19. He played in 12 games, making one start, and caught eight passes for 117 yards. He announced his decision to transfer April 18. Jenkins, 6-7 and 243 pounds, also can play tight end. He'll add size, depth and experience to a position group that lost Kyric McGowan (37 catches in 2021) and Adonicas Sanders (29 catches). - Atlanta Journal Constitution

Former South Carolina tight end/wide receiver EJ Jenkins announced his commitment to Georgia Tech in a tweet Monday. He entered the transfer portal April 18 after one full season with Shane Beamer's Gamecocks, deciding to move to the ACC for the 2022 football season. "Thank god for allowing me to continue this journey," Jenkins wrote. "In addition, thank you to all the coaches that reached out during this process. With that being said I will be finishing my college football career in the A!" Jenkins, a 6-foot-7, 240-pound pass catcher from Virginia, caught eight passes for 117 yards in 12 games last season. He did not participate in the Garnet and Black spring game due to injury and was limited throughout spring practice. Jenkins flashed potential after a successful stint at FCS St. Francis (Pa.), where he played with former USC quarterback Jason Brown. Brown transferred to Virginia Tech after Beamer added former Oklahoma quarterback Spencer Rattler. - EJ Jenkins twitter and online sources

South Carolina is down an offensive playmaker just two days after it wrapped up spring practices. Receiver/tight end E.J. Jenkins announced on Monday that he plans to enter the transfer portal after just one season at USC. Jenkins caught eight passes for 117 yards in 12 games last year. "I am truly blessed to meet people that I can call family in my time at South Carolina," Jenkins wrote in his announcement via Twitter. "Thank you, Coach (Shane) Beamer, Coach (Justin) Stepp and the rest of the staff for allowing me (to be) part of the 2021 season." The Virginia native came to Columbia after a standout career at St. Francis (Pa.) with quarterback Jason Brown last spring.

Brown also previously announced his intention to transfer from South Carolina and has since landed at Virginia Tech. Jenkins - who stands 6-foot-7 and weighs in at 240 pounds - was expected to be a dynamic red zone threat in 2021, but never quite evolved into a consistent enough presence in the South Carolina passing game. His most prolific game came against Troy on Oct. 2 when he recorded two catches for 28 yards and a touchdown. Jenkins also notched one reception for 30 yards in the regular-season finale against Clemson. - Rock Hill Herald

Besides the first day of the early signing period and the announcement that running back Jamious Griffin will return to Georgia Tech out of the transfer portal, the Yellow Jackets roster had three additional updates Wednesday. Linebacker Ayinde Eley, who came to Tech as a grad transfer from Maryland and was sixth in the ACC in tackles per game, announced that he will stay for his final year of eligibility. At the end of the season, Eley had said that he had not yet decided on whether he would stay or enter the NFL draft. Eley developed into a team leader since his arrival last January and was named the ACC linebacker of the week for his career-high 13 tackles in the Jackets' win over Duke. Also, Tech received Syracuse tight end Luke Benson out of the transfer portal, which he likewise announced. Benson, from Chalfont, Pa., outside of Philadelphia, played a total of 34 games in three seasons for the Orange. - Atlanta Journal Constitution

12/12/21 - Tobias Oliver, Sr/2022, Georgia Tech, 6-1, 204 (DS#103 CB) + More +

The rare college football player who played three positions and special teams over the course of his career, Georgia Tech cornerback Tobias Oliver declared that he will forego his extra season of eligibility and pursue the NFL draft. Oliver made the announcement Friday on social media. Oliver played the 2020 and 2021 seasons at cornerback, playing in 10 games and starting six this season. He was credited with 12 tackles and one pass breakup. Oliver was a 2017 signee from Northside High in Warner Robins who came to Tech to play quarterback for then-coach Paul Johnson. He got his opportunity in 2018. In his lone start in place of the injured TaQuon Marshall, Oliver ran 40 times for 215 yards and three touchdowns in a 49-28 win at Virginia Tech on a Thursday night. - Atlanta Journal Constitution

12/10/21 - Jordan Mason, Sr/2022, Georgia Tech, 5-11, 223 (DS#49 RB) + More +

Georgia Tech's running back depth chart took another hit Thursday when Jordan Mason announced he will enter the NFL draft. Mason, who was the Yellow Jackets' second-leading rusher with 439 yards, announced his decision on his Twitter account. Mason, from Gallatin, Tennessee, was a redshirt junior this season. Georgia Tech lost one of its top players when leading rusher Jahmyr Gibbs, who finished third in the nation in all-purpose yards, announced on Nov. 29 he will enter the transfer portal. Gibbs made his announcement two days after Georgia Tech completed a 3-9 season with its sixth consecutive loss, a 45-0 drubbing against Georgia. A third Georgia Tech running back, Jamious Griffin, also has entered the transfer portal after rushing for 23 yards in only four games. Griffin has three years of eligibility remaining. - AP College Football
