Tech lands Mississippi State signee Justin Brown

Justin Brown signed with Mississippi State for the class of 2023 out of high school, but following the death of Mike Leach, Brown had a change of heart and entered the transfer portal just ahead of the deadline at the end of last month. On Monday he committed to Georgia Tech as a transfer with five years to play four seasons.

The former Blackman HS standout will head to the Flats instead and help bolster a safety room that needs immediate help following some transfers. Brown was committed to State as a wide receiver, but the Jackets view him as a safety.
