Georgia Tech quarterback Ty Griffin has announced on Twitter he will transfer to Oregon and join the Ducks this coming season.

Its official im an Oregon Duck!!!! I'll be on the West Coast in a week... @TG__7 ï¿½ Ty Griffin (@ty_griffin10) July 23, 2014

The 6-foot, 195-pound freshman will have to sit out the 2014 season and will be eligible in 2015 as a sophomore with three years to play.

Griffin is the older brother of 2015 five-star Oregon running back commit Taj Griffin out of McEachern high school in Atlanta, Ga.

As a high school senior in 2012 Griffin rushed for 1,149 yards and 19 touchdowns and passed for 399 yards and three more touchdowns.

Griffin was regarded as an athlete coming out of high school and joined the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets as a quarterback in their triple-option offense. His bio on the Georgia Tech athletic website lists him as "athletic enough to play multiple positions on either side of the ball."

Ty and Taj Griffin both made unofficial visits to Oregon for the Oregon spring game this past May.
