THE FLATS — Twenty high school seniors signed grant-in-aid papers to attend Georgia Tech and play football for the Yellow Jackets in 2026 during the first day of the early signing period on Wednesday.

With Tech losing six defensive backs and three wide receivers to graduation following its upcoming bowl game, the Jackets’ initial crop of signees features five DBs and five WRs, as well as three linebackers, two offensive linemen, two defensive linemen, two tight ends and a punter.

Size was a priority, as 11 of the 20 signees stand at least 6-foot-2, and the four linemen average 312 pounds.

Highlighting another one of head coach Brent Key’s primary recruiting tenets, 11 of the first 20 newcomers hail from Georgia, while 19 of the 20 come from the talent-rich states of Georgia, Florida and Alabama. Only Baltimore-area native Chris Hewitt Jr., one of three four-star defensive backs among Wednesday’s signees, is from outside the Southeast.

Georgia Tech will likely sign additional prospects during the final two days of the early signing period, which runs through Friday.
