Georgia Tech made a big move this week when they landed five-star OT Josh Petty and that got them up to No. 4 in the ACC and within striking distance of the top three. The Yellow Jackets have a lot of momentum heading into Saturday's matchup with Florida State and if they were to land four-star defensive tackle Christian Garrett (which they have been projected too), they would be very close to jumping Florida State for the No. 3 spot in the ACC.
The Seminoles have one of the best classes in the ACC, but they had a few misses this week. Petty was the big one, but they lost four-star safety Bryce Fitzgerald to Miami yesterday. FSU trails only Clemson in average recruiting however and they could recover from this.
Speaking of the Hurricanes, they still hold the No.1 class in the ACC and moved up to No. 9 nationally. Four months away from the early signing period, Mario Cristobal has Miami on track for another top ten class and the top class in the conference.
SMU rounds out the top five in the ACC and then there is a bit of a gap. Stanford is still at No. 6, but they are well behind SMU. Pittsburgh, Syracuse, Virginia Tech, and Duke round out the top ten. The Hokies were able to land four-star receiver Shamarius Peterkin over NC State and that gives them three four-star wide receivers in their class. Brent Pry has done a nice job of building out that position and has the Hokies in position to continue moving up.
North Carolina, Boston College, Virginia, NC State, Cal, Louisville, and Wake Forest round out the rest of the rankings in the ACC.
