One of the best offensive linemen in the country is coming off the board tomorrow and he happens to be a Georgia Tech target. 2025 four-star offensive lineman Cortez Smith, who plays at Parkview High School in Georgia, is set to announce his commitment tomorrow between his final four schools of Georgia Tech, Georgia, South Carolina, and Miami. While the Yellow Jackets have been in the mix in this recruitment, there are a lot of signs to him picking the Bulldogs tomorrow.

While 247Sports Crystal Ball Predictions are not always correct, Smith has had a number come in that suggest he is going to land with the Bulldogs. There have been six total predictions over the past couple of weeks and all of them say that Smith is going to land in Athens. There is always a chance that Brent Key and his staff pull a surprise, but Kirby Smart and the Bulldogs seem to be the heavy favorite.

Smith visited Georgia Tech in June and also visited Georgia and Miami this summer.

He is rated as a four-star prospect by the 247Sports Composite and is the No. 133 prospect in the country, the No. 7 IOL, and the No. 16 prospect in the state of Georgia.

Georgia Tech is still in pursuit of some high-level prospects on the offensive line. Smith is one of those players, as is five-star offensive tackle Josh Petty. Petty is projected to land with Florida State, but there is still time for Georgia Tech to land him.
