Georgia Tech has been on a roll all day on Sunday and they continued that on Sunday night with the commitment of four-star cornerback Dalen Penson, a four-star cornerback out of Sandy Creek High School in Georgia. With his commitment, Penson is now the highest-rated member of Georgia Tech's recruiting class according to 247Sports.

This is a massive commitment for Georgia Tech and their second four-star commitment of the 2025 class, along with offensive lineman Justin Hasenhuetl. Penson is an athletic playmaker at 5'10 165 LBS and committed to the Yellow Jackets following his official visit. Georgia Tech had to hold off plenty of challengers for Penson as well. Kentucky, North Carolina, Duke, Louisville, Maryland, Memphis, Notre Dame, Penn State and West Virginia were some of the other schools that had offered Penson.

According to 247Sports, Penson is the No. 120 player in the country, the No. 14 cornerback in the country, and the No. 14 player in the state of Georgia.
