“The recruiting energy in Atlanta has changed — in a big way.
Geoff Collins and his staff have created a real buzz at
Georgia Tech and they have added numerous pieces already that never would have committed to the Yellow Jackets under
Paul Johnson.
King is the latest one to commit. He is a big receiver who wants to play in a spread offense, so the offense Georgia Tech plans to install, combined with the academics, location and chance to play early pushed the in-state school to the top.
King will give Collins a big-bodied receiver that will be ready to compete for early playing time. He is a great red zone receiver, he wins jump-balls and he has shown the ability to block on the perimeter. This is a big get for Collins.”
“The Jackets are need of new talent in the passing game and much like the addition of King, Ward is a nice early grab. A tight end who has seen his offer list explode in recent months, Ward surprised many when he ended his recruitment early and committed to the in-state school last month. Had he hit the camp circuit hard a number of other offers would likely have come his way, so the Jackets staff did a nice job locking Ward up early. The commitment to recruiting the Atlanta area by Collins and the new staff continues to pay dividends and Ward is just the latest local prospect to stay home.”
