Lineman commits to Georgia Tech out of the transfer portal

Offensive lineman Jordan Brown announced Friday that he is transferring to Georgia Tech.

Brown, a 6-foot-4, 315-pound lineman from Long Beach, Calif., played at Charlotte this season before he entered the transfer portal. Brown redshirted in the 2021 season and has three seasons of eligibility remaining. Brown played in seven games for the 49ers this season.
