Two more players are transferring to Georgia Tech to be part of the 2026 Yellow Jackets.

Alex Bacchetta, a Westminster graduate and punter, announced on X on Monday his intention to enroll at Tech. ESPN reported Monday that Dartmouth tight end Chris Corbo intends to transfer to Tech as well.

Bacchetta (6-2, 230) is a redshirt junior who began his career with two seasons at Penn State before playing the 2024 and 2025 seasons at Rice. He had 62 punts for an average of 44.97 yards in 2025 and 49 punts for an average of 41.49 in ’24.

Bacchetta was a three-time all-state selection at Westminster and also won a state soccer championship with the Wildcats in 2019.

Corbo (6-5, 250) spent four seasons at Dartmouth. After redshirting in 2022, Corbo had nine receptions for 81 yards and two touchdowns as a sophomore, 32 catches for 315 and seven touchdowns as a junior, and 45 receptions for 516 yards and four scores as a senior.
