Veteran Georgia Tech DL announces transfer to Ole Miss
Former Georgia Tech defensive lineman Akelo Stone announced late Friday night that he is transferring from Atlanta to Oxford, committing to Lane Kiffin and Ole Miss.
Stone spent 3 seasons at Georgia Tech, totaling 17 tackles, 2 sacks and 7 tackles for loss. He appeared in 21 games across those 3 seasons, most of which came in years 2 and 3. Last season was easily his best, with 12 of his 17 tackles coming in 2022.
Stone was a team captain for Georgia Tech’s spring game, but entered the portal following the opening of the spring window from April 15-30.
He made his commitment to Ole Miss via his personal Twitter account:

Stone, who is originally from Savannah, Georgia, was a 3-star prospect out of high school. He was barely even rated by the 247Sports rankings.
The rising redshirt sophomore will have 2 seasons of edibility remaining and should make an immediate impact for the Rebels, whether that be in a starting role or otherwise.
