Georgia Tech defensive lineman Romello Height commits to Texas Tech out of transfer portal

Georgia Tech defensive lineman Romello Height has found his new home out of the NCAA transfer portal, committing to Texas Tech.

It will be Height’s fourth program, after previous stints at Auburn, USC and Georgia Tech.

In his latest run of action in 2024, Height posted 34 total tackles, 6.5 tackles for a loss, 2.5 sacks, two forced fumbles, an interception and a pass defended. That was his lone season of action at Georgia Tech.

He played in just two games in his first season with the Trojans, failing to record any statistics. He was more productive in 2023, when he played in 12 games and recorded 21 tackles, 6.0 tackles for a loss, 4.0 sacks and a fumble recovery.

Height initially began his college career at Auburn, where he appeared in just one game as a true freshman in 2020. He retained a year of eligibility due to COVID-19, something that aided him later on in the transfer process.

In his second year at Auburn, Height made 19 tackles and 3.0 tackles for a loss.

Prior to enrolling at Auburn, Height was ranked as a four-star prospect and the No. 347 overall recruit in the nation in the 2020 class. He also checked in as the No. 37 linebacker in the class, as well as the No. 36 overall player in the state of Georgia, hailing from Dublin (GA) Dublin.
