One of Georgia Tech’s key contributors in the secondary intends to transfer.
Defensive back Taye Seymore entered the NCAA’s transfer portal Monday, according to MikeFarrellSports.com. Seymore is a 5-foot-11, 205-pound graduate of South Atlanta High School.
Seymore made 46 tackles (three for a loss) this season, the fifth most among Yellow Jackets, and broke up two passes. He had a career-high 10 tackles Sept. 7 at Syracuse. Seymore’s best outing of the season, according to Pro Football Focus, came in the Oct. 5 win over Duke.
“I feel like I’ve grown tremendously. I feel like I got more confident with me knowing the defense and just being able to have the ability to go out there and play and compete with other guys,” Seymore said in November. “It’s been a good year so far and the coaches have really let me know ahead of time before coming into my sophomore year that I was gonna be a key to the defense and they was gonna need me to step up in order for us to take the step that we needed. I took that as a job and I went and worked hard for it and I took the steps.”
In 2023, Seymore appeared in nine games, mostly on special teams, and made five tackles.
Seymore joins wide receivers Eric Singleton Jr., Leo Blackburn and Christian Leary, defensive lineman Horace Lockett, quarterback Zach Pyron, running back Evan Dickens, offensive linemen Corey Robinson and Jordan Brown as Jackets intending to play elsewhere in 2025.
