--ATHENS--Georgia's running back Brendan Douglas has decided to join former teammate JJ Green in transferring to in-state rival school, Georgia Tech. Douglas was a featured back in UGA's offense in the middle of the 2013 season, due to injuries of Todd Gurley and Keith Marshall. However due to depth and talent, his playing time has reduced exponentially. With the names of Chubb, Marshall, and Michel, it doesn't appear that Douglas would get a great deal of carries in the seasons to come. Tech fans remember Douglas for when he committed to the Yellow Jackets in January of 2013, only to de-commit and go sign with Georgia. With Georgia Tech's entire B-back core graduating this year (Synjyn Days, Zach Laskey, and Matt Connors), Douglas sees this as an opportunity to share playing time with Tech redshirt freshman CJ Leggett. Douglas rushed for 570 yards and 5 TD's in his time at UGA. Due to transfer rules, Douglas and Green must sit out the 2015 season (a season in which they
will both redshirt) and will most-likely fit right into the lineup for the 2016 year.

GASO's Matt Breida to transfer to Georgia Tech
Georgia Southern's now-junior RB Matt Breida has decided he will transfer to in-state school, Georgia Tech. Tech, under coach Paul Johnson, runs a very similar style of triple option offense that GSU does, which will bode well for Breida and his running style.
