Not only won’t Marquez Ezzard be leaving the conference in which he began his collegiate playing career, he won’t even be leaving the division.
Exactly 10 days ago, Miami confirmed that Ezzard had decided to transfer out of first-year head coach Manny Diaz’s football program. Saturday, the wide receiver took to Twitter to announce that he will be continuing his collegiate playing career at Georgia Tech.
The former Georgia high schooler will very likely have to sit out the 2019 season to satisfy NCAA and ACC transfers rules. He would then have three years of eligibility to use beginning with the 2020 season.
Ezzard was a four-star 2018 signee who played in three games as a true freshman, catching two passes for 24 yards during his brief stint with the Hurricanes.
