Lands at Georgia Tech King announced Sunday that he has committed to Georgia Tech, joining the program as a graduate transfer from Texas A&M, Adam Rittenberg of ESPN.com reports. Impact Though King opened the 2022 season as the Aggies' starting quarterback after beating out LSU transfer Max Johnson for the gig in fall camp, he eventually ceded the job to freshman Conner Weigman by season's end while Texas A&M endured a turbulent 5-7 campaign. Since he'll be leaving College Station with his degree, King is able to compete immediately for Georgia Tech and should have up to three years of eligibility to use. A heralded recruit from the 2020 cycle, King should have a good chance to emerge as the Yellow Jackets' starting signal-caller after Jeff Sims transferred to Nebraska last month and after neither Zach Pyron (collarbone) or Zach Gibson impressed in their stints directing the Georgia Tech offense. King completed 55.6 percent of his attempts for 1,220 yards, seven touchdowns and six interceptions while adding 83 yards and a touchdown on the ground across his six appearances for Texas A&M in 2022.
