For the second time in as many days, a Georgia Tech tight end has opted to depart the program.

David Prince announced Tuesday on X, formerly Twitter, that he plans to enter the NCAA’s transfer portal. Prince (6-foot-4, 230 pounds) spent one season with the Yellow Jackets and did not play during the 2024 campaign.

A graduate of Glynn Academy in Brunswick, Prince was considered a three-star prospect, according to the 247Sports Composite, in the 2024 class. He reportedly had scholarship offers from Arkansas, Central Florida and Virginia Tech, among others. Prince caught one pass for 14 yards during Tech’s annual spring game April 12 and had been taking snaps at wide receiver during spring practice.

“There’s some learning that he’s having to do out there at receiver, but he’s a fun guy to be around each and every day,” Tech wide receivers coach Trent McKnight said earlier this month. “I think the guys in the room love him. He fits in the room really well so we’re excited to see what (Prince) can bring out there at the receiver position.”

Tech tight end Jackson Long announced Monday he also intends to transfer. Long and Prince’s departures leaves Tech with six tight ends on the current roster, but Tech did sign tight ends Connor Roush (Wesleyan) and Kevin Roche (Darien, Conn.) and that duo is expected to enroll this summer.
