Georgia Tech has a lot of momentum right now as a program and Brent Key continues to win on and off the field. The Yellow Jackets were able to land five-star offensive tackle Josh Petty over Ohio State and Florida State earlier this month and then they beat the Seminoles on the field this past Saturday. Today, Georgia Tech landed the commitment of four-star defensive tackle Christian Garrett, who plays at Prince Avenue Christian High School in Georgia. Garrett was a recent Georgia commit, but he de-committed from the Bulldogs earlier this month and chose the Yellow Jackets today.

With this commitment, Georgia Tech inches closer to overtaking Florida State for the No. 3 recruiting class in the ACC. The Seminoles still have a lot of targets on the board for them, but it is worth watching to see if Georgia Tech can overtake them for the No.3 class in the conference.

Miami remains No.1, but they have fallen out of the top ten rankings nationally and are now No. 11. Clemson still has the No. 2 class in the ACC and SMU rounds out the top five.

There is still a pretty big dropoff from SMU to the No. 6 spot, which is currently occupied by Duke. Barring any big time commitments to the schools behind them, Miami, Clemson, Florida State, Georgia Tech, and SMU seem like locks to finish as the top five teams in the ACC recruiting rankings.
