49ers pick up transfer from Georgia State

Linebacker Mark Hogan, Georgia State's all-time leading tackler, is transferring to Charlotte from Georgia State.

Hogan will be playing on his second start-up next fall. He was on the Panthers' original team in 2010.

Hogan started three seasons at Georgia State and ended his career there with 157 tackles  -- including 10.5 for a loss -- and two interceptions. Last season against Tennessee, Hogan had nine tackles, one for a loss, and forced a fumble. He was named to the Capital One Academic all-district first team in 2012.

Hogan (6-0, 210) played high school football at Lincoln-Sudbury (Mass.), but his parents live in Matthews. His dad is a former player at Georgia Tech and played there under Georgia State's Bill Curry, who recently announced his retirement.

Hogan is the seventh transfer added to the 49ers' roster since fall practice ended. He's graduated from Georgia State and will be a grad student at Charlotte.

Good to have some senior leadership during this first year. Welcome to Niner Nation!

Wow. Going from one glorified community college to another. Nothing in the article about the fact that G State was 1-10 last year either and being the leading tackler for such a terrible team isn't exactly an indicator of success.

Keep hyping for the Charlotte fanbase though! I'm sure getting their hopes for immediate on-field success right off the bat is a good idea...

I'm going to take a good guess Anon 2:31 is an App State fan. They can't get over us getting a football team for some reason.

Anon 2:31, I noticed App State will still be playing small college FCS football. Good luck to you guys. We will all be pulling for you.

"all time Ga State leading tackler" maybe....but the program is a start up, so someone has to have the tackles the first 3 seasons. Not really a record
