Franks’ playing career did not pan out at Tech, appearing in one game in three seasons. The Creekside High graduate had come to Tech as a high-priority recruit in the team’s 2020 signing class.

Franks has three seasons of eligibility remaining.

Since Saturday, defensive end Grey Carroll, running back Antonio Martin and tight end Ben Postma also entered the portal. On Monday, Tech running back Kaleb Edwards announced that he would “medically retire” from football.
