Christian Leary, a wide receiver who spent the past two seasons at Alabama, announced Sunday that he is transferring to Georgia Tech.

It is a change of direction for Leary, who entered the NCAA transfer portal in December and announced Dec. 13 that he was transferring to Central Florida.

Leary made the announcement Sunday on Instagram. He did not reveal the reason for the switch.

Instead of becoming the third former Alabama player to join Gus Malzahn at UCF, Leary will instead join a Georgia Tech program led by former Tide offensive line coach Brent Key.

Leary, who is from Orlando, was a four-star recruit in Alabama’s 2021 class ranked No. 75 nationally in 247 Sports’ rankings. He switched to running back during his freshman season when injuries struck that position before returning to wide receiver in 2022. He caught one pass for 6 yards this season while appearing mostly on special teams.

Overall, five of Alabama’s seven wide receiver signees from its 2020 and 2021 classes have transferred. Only Ja’Corey Brooks and Thaiu Jones-Bell remain.

Offensive lineman Damieon George is the lone Alabama player who entered the transfer portal since November who has yet to announce a new school. George told 247 Sports he visited Auburn last week.
