Georgia Tech made the final four for four-star offensive lineman Cortez Smith, but it is starting to look like he is trending to land with the Yellow Jackets in-state rival. Smith already had two 247Sports Crystal Ball Predictions to land with the Georgia Bulldogs and he received another today from 247Sports Recruiting Expert Tom Loy.

Smith visited Georgia Tech in June and also visited Georgia and Miami this summer.

He is rated as a four-star prospect by the 247Sports Composite and is the No. 133 prospect in the country, the No. 7 IOL, and the No. 16 prospect in the state of Georgia.

Georgia Tech is still in pursuit of some high-level prospects on the offensive line. Smith is one of those players, as is five-star offensive tackle Josh Petty. Petty is projected to land with Florida State, but there is still time for Georgia Tech to land him.

Here are some stats and info on Smith courtesy of 247Sports analyst Gabe Brooks:
