Georgia Tech Wide Reciever Juju Lewis Enters Transfer Portal

The redshirt freshman receiver - and former South Florida standout - is headed elsewhere.

After losing both cornerback Kenan Johnson and edge rusher Kyle Kennard to the transfer portal earlier today, the Jackets will also be losing redshirt freshman wide receiver Jullian "Juju" Lewis. 

Lewis announced his decision earlier this afternoon:

During his two years at Tech, Lewis did not suit up for the team. He arrived at Tech as a three-star recruit coming off a remarkable high school career at Western High School in Davie, Florida. During his senior season, he earned Sun Sentinel All-Broward first-team recognition for accumulating 1,260 yards and 14 touchdowns on 77 receptions. 

He will enter the portal with three years of eligibility remaining and is an excellent upside play for his next team - best of luck to him.

Georgia Tech has offered three transfer portal players, including two defensive linemen.

Purdue transfer Sulaiman Kpaka announced on social media that he had received an offer from Georgia Tech. Kpaka totaled 10 tackles this season and 2.5 sacks for the Boilermakers. According to PFF, Kpaka played 163 snaps and he ended the year with a 56.7 grade, which is below average. He would add size on the defensive line at 6'2 295 LBS and he has plenty of experience so those are two ideal things that Kpaka would bring to Atlanta.

The Yellow Jackets offered Middle Tennessee graduate transfer defensive end Zaylin Wood. Wood played his high school football in the state of Georgia at Heard County High School and he has one year of eligibility remaining. He played four seasons for the Blue Raiders and totaled 10 sacks during his time there. He had 6.5 sacks in 2022 and three this season. He was an All Conference USA honorable mention in 2022.

His best performance in 2022 came in perhaps the biggest win in MTSU history. Wood collected two sacks, 2.0 TFLs, a fumble recovery, and an interception he returned 15 yards for a touchdown in the win at Miami.

Another offer that Georgia Tech sent out this week was to another MTSU player, but not a defensive lineman.

Keylan Rutledge, who played at Franklin County High School in Georgia, entered the transfer portal yesterday and just a few hours later, announced on social media that he had been offered by the Yellow Jackets.

Rutledge was a starter at guard for the Blue Raiders, was on the CUSA Preseason Watch List, and was a permanent team captain for MTSU. With starting right guard Connor Scaglione out of eligibility, Rutledge could come in and compete for the Yellow Jackets.
