2024 DB Jakob Gude Discusses Weekend Visit At Georgia Tech And What's Next

Jakob Gude was one of several 2024 prospects that visited Georgia Tech

Junior Day has come and gone for Georgia Tech and a host of prospects and targets were on campus for the first Junior Day in Brent Key's tenure. 

One of the players that was there was 2024 DB Jakob Gude, who played at Sandy Creek last season but is going to be suiting up for Langston Hughes in 2023. I got a chance to catch up with Gude and talk about how his visit to Atlanta went and everything else with his recruitment.

This was not Gude's first time visiting The Flats. It was his third visit, but first since Key was named head coach and he felt that the vibes were completely different and that he loved being there. The two coaches that Gude said have been recruiting him the hardest have been defensive backs coach Travares Tillman and GA Kenny Lucky. 

When I asked him about what was different on this visit, he talked about how the whole vibe of the program was different, but the confidence of Key was what stood out. 

While he said he is taking the recruiting process slow right now, he is hoping for a big spring and a big offseason that will cement him as one of the top defensive backs in the state. 

While he said he loved Georgia Tech, he declined to say that they are the leader in his recruitment right now. Coastal Carolina, North Carolina, and Tennessee are the other schools that have shown interest in him so far. 

Expect a big season from the talented defensive back and for him to be noticed. Georgia Tech should make him a priority in this upcoming class and he is out to prove it. 

Georgia Tech currently has one player committed for the 2024 class and that is four-star quarterback Jakhari Williams (Macon, GA). Williams is the guy that Key is going to be building this class around and that is a very good building block.
