Dylan McDuffie will head south to continue his college football career, and he will reunite with a former coach.
McDuffie, who played at the University at Buffalo for the last four seasons, announced on his social media accounts that he will transfer to Georgia Tech, which plays in the Atlantic Coast Conference. Mike Daniels, who coached the Bulls’ running backs in 2021, holds the same position on the Yellow Jackets’ staff.
