After spending some time in the NCAA transfer portal, former Tennessee offensive lineman Ryan Johnson has decided where he will be heading. In a message posted to his Twitter account on Monday evening, Johnson announced he will be joining the Georgia Tech program.
“After careful consideration, discussion with my family, and many prayers, I have decided to continue my education and football career at the Georgia Institute of Technology,” Johnson announced, suing the official name of Georgia Tech in his statement.
As a graduate transfer, Johnson will be eligible to play immediately for the Yellow Jackets beginning in 2020. It will be the final year of his eligibility and the addition of an offensive lineman with the kind of experience Johnson offers will be a nice boost for Georgia Tech in the short-term future. Georgia Tech can benefit from adding extra bodies on the offensive line as head coach Geoff Collins works to beef up things in his program. Although Johnson doesn’t pack a ton of starting experience, he has played in every game this season for Tennessee, with the obvious exception of the upcoming bowl game.
