Georgia Tech bulked up its defensive line Wednesday night when Vincent Carroll-Jackson announced on X he intends to transfer to Tech for the 2026 season.
Carroll-Jackson is a 6-foot-5, 290-pound native of Pennsylvania who began his career at Nebraska before playing one season at Connecticut.
At Central Dauphin East High School in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, Carroll-Jackson was considered a three-star prospect, according to the 247Sports Composite, before he enrolled at Nebraska for the 2023 season. He played in just one game with the Cornhuskers that year, then logged 56 snaps over nine games in 2024 and registered on tackle.
Carroll-Jackson was the recipient of the Brook Berringer Citizenship and Tom Osborne Citizenship awards in 2024 at Nebraska.
At UConn this past season, Carroll-Jackson made 28 stops (one for a loss), forced a fumble and was credited with two quarterback hurries. His 494 defensive snaps were the 10th-most among Huskies.
Carroll-Jackson joins Alabama offensive lineman Joseph Ionata, Oklahoma State offensive lineman Markell Samuel, TCU long snapper Cal Keeler, Rice punter Alex Bacchetta, Dartmouth tight end Chris Corbo and Rutgers defensive lineman Jordan Walker as offseason acquisitions for the Yellow Jackets.
