Georgia Tech defensive back D.J. Moore announced on X on Monday that he plans to enter the NCAA’s transfer portal.

Moore has spent three seasons at Tech and battled numerous injuries. The 6-foot-1, 190-pound graduate of Archer High School played 32 snaps this past season, 19 on defense and 13 on special teams.

A three-star recruit, according to the 247Sports Composite, in the class of 2022, Moore appeared in two games as a freshman on special teams in 2022. He missed the first eight games of 2024 before switching positions from wide receiver to defensive back and played in four games.

Moore joins quarterback Aaron Philo, offensive linemen Peyton Joseph, Ben Galloway and Tana Alo-Tupuola, and linebacker Melvin Jordan IV as players who have announced their intentions to transfer. The NCAA’s transfer portal opens Friday.
