Georgia Tech added to its 2025 recruiting class tonight. Three star defensive tackle Blake Belin committed to the Yellow Jackets over ACC schools Syracuse, Duke, and Virginia. He is the 22nd commitment in the class that Brent Key has put together.

According to te 247Sports Composite, Belin is the No. 1,097 player in the country, the No. 118 defensive lineman in the country, and the No. 9 player in the state of New York. He plays his High School Football at Cardinal Hayes High School in New York.

At 6'2 281 LBS, Belin is a very interesting prospect that with good development, could develop into an impact player. Belin is a two-sport athlete who also competes in track and field.

This commitment bumps Georgia Tech back up past Clemson for the No. 17 class in the country and the No. 2 class in the ACC.

Miami has held the No. 1 spot in the conference since the summer and with the season that the Hurricanes are having, it seems likely that they will have the top class in the ACC for the third straight season.

Clemson and SMU are right behind Georgia Tech for No.2, but there is some seperation after that and I don't think anyone is going to unseat the top four.

Duke, Syracuse, Stanford, Pittsburgh, Virginia Tech, and NC State round out the top ten. After them, Florida State checks in at No. 11 and the Seminoles have been in a free fall with the season that they are having. FSU has had several prospects de-commit from the program over the course of the last few weeks and there might be more to come.

Boston College, Virginia, Wake Forest, Cal, North Carolina, and Louisville round out the rest of the ACC. North Carolina is another school that is currently losing commits to other schools and it has put them near the bottom of the conference.
