Former Georgia Tech starting quarterback Taylor Bennett will be transferring to Louisiana Tech.

We all knew he was leaving after Paul Johnson took over, but we did not know where. Now we do. The big news for Bennett is that he will not have to sit out a season, due to the fact that Louisiana Tech has a graduate-school major that Georgia Tech does not. After a request was sent by Bennett to the NCAA, the NCAA found it fair and the QB can play next season.

Bennett looked great in the Gator Bowl two seasons ago, but struggled at times for the Yellow Jackets last year. He finished his Georgia Tech career with 2,804 yards and 13 TD passes.

The ironic thing is a former Georgia Tech player will now play for a Dooley. Legendary head coach Vince Dooley’s son Derek is the main man for Louisiana Tech. Last season, the LA Tech Bulldogs finished 5-7.
