The other schools in McCorkle's top 12 include Florida, Florida State, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Louisville, Michigan State, Mississippi State, UCF, and West Virginia. 

McCorkle, who plays at Cardinal Mooney High School in Sarasota, Florida,  is a four-star cornerback according to 247Sports, ranking as the No. 247 player in the country, No. 27 corner in the country, and No. 29 player in the state of Florida. It would be huge for new defensive backs coach Cory Peoples to go into the state of Florida and pull a talented player like McCorkle and it will be an interesting recruitment to follow now that he has dropped his top 12. 

There is another four-star cornerback to keep an eye on for Georgia Tech.

Since he decomitted from Georgia, Georgia Tech has been pursuing four-star cornerback Tae Harris and had him on campus for visits. Today, it was announced that Harris is going to be taking an official visit to Georgia Tech in June. He will be at Clemson the first week of June and at Georgia Tech the following week.

On the 247Sports Composite, Harris is rated as a four-star prospect and the No. 224 prospect in the country, the No. 26 cornerback, and the No. 29 prospect in the state of Georgia. He plays at Cedartown High School in Georgia and also has offers from Colorado, Florida, LSU, Miami, Tennessee, and UCF, among others.

Key and his staff are going to hope to put together a strong 2025 class to follow up the strong finish they had to their 2024 class. Getting a talented player like Harris would be a heck of a start.

Here are some stats and info on Harris courtesy of 247Sports:

"Also runs track. Took 10th at GHSA 4A meet as a sophomore in the 100-meter dash. Owns times of 10.73, 10.86 (-0.5), 10.90, 10.99, 11.01 and 11.03 in the event.

2022: Two-way player at Cedartown, which played for a Peach State AAAA title. Registered 59 tackles, 5 PBU and 2 INT on defense while adding 12-280-3 rushing and 4-92-2 receiving on offense."
