Myles Sims announces transfer to Georgia Tech
ByJOSH HENSCHKE May 14, 1:26 PM

Less than a month after entering the transfer portal, defensive back Myles Sims has decided where the next steps of his career will take him, it just won't be in Ann Arbor. Sims took to Twitter on Tuesday to announce that he will transfer to his home state of Georgia to play for Georgia Tech.

Sims joins the Yellow Jacket program that has undergone some major changes during the offseason. He will play under new head coach Geoff Collins and an overhauled staff after the retirement of former head coach Paul Johnson after the season.

"Thank you to the University of Michigan for the invaluable academic and athletic experiences that will leave an indelible impression on my life," Sims tweet read. "I sincerely appreciate Coach Harbaugh and the football staff for the opportunity, professors for shaping my mind, incredible teammates for unbreakable bonds, friends and family for the unwavering support and dedicated fans who truly made my time at Michigan special. For personal reasons, my steps are being ordered closer to home where I will continue as a student-athlete at the Georgia Institute of Technology. Go Yellow Jackets!"

Sims transfers from the Wolverines' program after redshirting during his freshman season in 2018. It's unclear whether he will apply for a waiver for immediate eligibility. According to NCAA transfer rules, Sims must sit out the 2019 season and will have three seasons of eligibility remaining.

After not being mentioned much by the U-M coaching staff this spring, cornerbacks coach Mike Zordich explained that the young Sims must show more consistency before being able to see the field.

"Myles, he’s just got to be more consistent," he said. "He put together a couple of nice practices, then he just kind of … he's just got to stay getting better every day. He's got the skill set, he has it. He’s just got to be consistent."

Only two L's?

Society has just made it too easy for kids to quit these days. His parents should have taught him to see things through. Who knows, with a redshirt under his belt he could have been one of the special few who took 5.

Let's not be too hard on someone who has learned a hard lifelong lesson that he made the worst decision of his life. We should celebrate that he is in remission from his disease.

NCAA reverses course, grants immediate-eligibility waiver to Michigan transfer Myles Sims at Georgia Tech

Jim Harbaugh didn’t make many friends following the transfer of two of his Michigan players this offseason, but at least one of them has seen a positive ending to their journey.

Earlier this month, it was confirmed that Myles Sims had his appeal for a waiver for immediate eligibility at Georgia Tech denied. The defensive back had transferred to Tech from Michigan earlier this offseason.

Wednesday, however, Tech confirmed that, after appealing the initial denial, Sims has been granted a waiver that will allow him to play immediately in 2019. Including this coming season, Sims will have four years of eligibility he can use with the Yellow Jackets.

“I’m happy for Myles and for our team that he has been granted immediate eligibility. This is the right decision for the young man,” head coach Geoff Collins said in a statement.
