Long snapper from Florida Atlantic heading to Georgia Tech
Georgia Tech received a commitment Sunday from an FBS transfer looking to earn a starting special teams role.
Luke Whiting, a long snapper, announced on X, formerly Twitter, his intention to play for the Yellow Jackets in 2025. Whiting has already been a part of two college programs and most recently played for Florida Atlantic.
A 6-foot-4, 225-pound sophomore, Whiting graduated from Olympus High School in Salt Lake City and began his collegiate career at Idaho State, where he saw the field in four games and played a total of nine snaps in 2023. Whiting transferred to FAU for the 2024 season and did not appear in a game for the Owls.
Tech, which loses starting long snapper Henry Freer to graduation after this season, now has 12 Division I transfers joining the program for the 2025 season. Whiting joins linebackers Melvin Jordan IV (Oregon State) and Cayden Spaulding (Tennessee Tech), Central Florida defensive tackle Matthew Alexander, tight ends Harry Lodge (Wake Forest) and J.T. Byrne (California), Florida International wide receivers Dean Patterson and Eric Rivers, South Carolina wide receiver Debron Gatling, North Carolina offensive lineman Andrew Rosinski, Alabama-Birmingham defensive back Kelvin Hill and Eastern Michigan defensive back Daiquan White as players who plan to transfer to Tech for the ‘25 season.
