BREAKING: Georgia Tech Point Guard Amaree Abram Plans to Enter The Transfer Portal

Abram transferred to Georgia Tech from Ole Miss last offseason

After transferring to Georgia Tech last offseason, point guard Amaree Abram plans to enter the transfer portal again according to Joe Tipton at On3 Sports. 

Abram was one of Georgia Tech's highest-rated additions through the portal last offseason when he came to Atlanta from Ole Miss, but he would only play in ten games for the Yellow Jackets last season. The point guard duties were handled by freshman Nait George and veteran Kyle Sturdivant.
