Georgia Tech Running Back Target Jamarius Haynes Commits to Clemson

Georgia Tech lost a top target to an ACC rival on National Signing Day

Georgia Tech was looking to add a running back to go with 2023 signee Evan Dickens (IMG Academy, FL), but came up short in the recruitment of running back Jamarius Haynes (Handley, AL). 

Haynes decided not to come to Atlanta and join Brent Key's first recruiting class as a head coach, but he will be suiting up for one of Georgia Tech's ACC rivals Clemson.

Georgia Tech has been looking to add running back depth to the position and had done a good job of that with the addition of Dickens and Louisville transfer Trevion Cooley. The Yellow Jackets are losing leading rusher Hassan Hall to graduation and Dylan McDuffie to the transfer portal.
