Veteran Georgia Tech CB Zamari Walton is headed to the portal

After five years on the Flats and four as a starter, cornerback Zamari Walton informed JOL he is entering the transfer portal on the final day for players to enter before the winter transfer portal period.

Walton was a four-year starter at cornerback for the Jackets from 2019 through the 2022 season racking up 2,384 career snaps at that position including a few games in 2018 as a true freshman. He played under three different head coaches at Tech during his tenure after signing with Paul Johnson in his final signing class of 2018.

In 2022, he had one interception and 36 tackles with a career-high PFF Grade of 74.5 for the season.

Walton has a covid year to use and has graduated from Georgia Tech and is the ninth player to enter the transfer portal since the end of the 2022 season.

Tech returns the other starting corner from 2022, Myles Sims, and a group of veteran players will aim to replace Walton on the other side including Kenyatta Watson II, Kenan Johnson, Ahmari Harvey, and Eric Reed Jr.
