R-Fr. DL Justin Akins Set to Transfer

Redshirt-Freshman DL Justin Akins has decided to transfer from Georgia Tech. He was granted his release and is now able to transfer to any school he wishes. As far as I know, he has not decided where yet. He should also have to sit another year after redshirting last year should he choose to transfer to another FBS school. I'll add the release from RamblinWreck.com when they release one. But from what I've heard, he is transferring due to "academic concerns."

ED Note: I know for certain he has been granted his release and will transfer. Anything beyond that for the time being is simply speculation and rumors.

What do y'all think about this? How will we replace him?
