2025 Tight end Connor Roush picked up an offer from Georgia Tech on June 1st after having a stellar prospect camp. There was initial interest from the Yellow Jackets after a member of the coaching staff visited Wesleyan in early spring. From there, Roush was invited to a Georgia Tech prospect camp to showcase his skills. 

He just committed to the Yellow Jackets, joining Jamauri Brice and Fenix Felton as commitments for the 2025 Georgia Tech class today.

I would like to thank my family, coaches, and teammates for always being there to support me throughout this process. With a special thank you to @FranklinPridgen for mentoring me and doing everything he can to make this opportunity possible. With that being said I would like to… pic.twitter.com/DBEV280wVL

According to Rivals, he is rated as a three-star. He currently holds five offers from the Air Force, Georgia Tech, UPenn, Yale, Wofford, and Army. It was a busy month of May for Roush as he picked six offers. Currently, he is being crystal balled to the Yellow Jackets.

He was also on campus for the White and Gold Spring game in April. He had an official visit with the Yellow Jackets this past weekend 

A few things to note about Connor is that he won first place in his region for shot put at his high school Wesleyan with a 46-9 mark. 

He played a lot of defensive end this past season for Wesleyan. Roush is great at setting the edge in the running game and not allowing playmakers to escape his grasp. He takes good angles and very rarely misses tackles. He’s disruptive and causes a lot of havoc that results in turnovers for his team. When he can’t get to the quarterback, he has great awareness to get his hands up and deflect the football. 

He was named first-team all-region on defence by Georgia High School Football Daily. In 2023, he finished with 46 tackles, 16 tackles for loss, eight sacks, and two forced fumbles. Offensively, he had six catches for 56 yards and a touchdown. 

It will be interesting to see what he plays at the next level. Roush seems like a natural fit on the defensive line and could be a high-end starter. He has great athleticism and instincts that allow him to be a difference-maker but he is being recruited as a tight end.
