2024 Georgia Tech Defensive Tackle Target Champ Thompson Commits To Clemson

One of the state's best defensive linemen is committed to Clemson

Georgia Tech had made the final seven for four-star, in-state defensive tackle Champ Thompson (Meadowcreek, GA), but he is going to be committing to one of the Yellow Jackets ACC rivals for now. 

Last night, Thompson committed to the Clemson Tigers after a visit to the school. Thompson is ranked a four-star player in the 247Sports composite and the 241st player in the country and a top 40 player in the state of Georgia.

Along with Clemson and Georgia Tech, Thompson was also considering Georgia, Miami, Ole Miss, Florida State, and Penn State. 

For Georgia Tech, this is a loss because Thompson is a talented player in their own backyard and he is going to an ACC rival. However, it is only January and there is a long way to go until signing day in December. Don't expect Brent Key and the rest of the staff to give up on recruiting Thompson. He is too talented and Georgia Tech needs more players like him.

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.
