Improvement: +27

The skinny: After a lackluster 2016 recruiting class, Paul Johnson and his staff were able to use their 9-4 season to their advantage as they finished at No. 41 in the team rankings, up 27 spots. Having four-star brothers Tre Swilling and Bruce Jordan-Swilling follow their dad’s legacy to Tech was a huge bonus for the Yellow Jackets, but they were also able to reel in four-star Tennessee safeties Gentry Bonds and Kaleb Oliver.

Farrell’s take: Things looked bleak for Georgia Tech a year ago, but a surprise season and some very good out-of-state recruiting has improved the recruiting outlook. The state of Georgia is recruited so heavily by so many programs that the Jackets need to steal a few from elsewhere and they did just that. It wasn’t a layup adding the Swillings and pulling kids out of Tennessee was a big deal.

From Rivals.

I was hoping for a more highly considered O-lineman, but the guys we have are going to do a good job I think

G.T. #9 in Rivals top Safety prospects....
Signees: Kaleb Oliver (four-star), Gentry Bonds (four-star), Avery Showell (three-star), Tariq Carpenter (two-star)

Analysis: Oliver and Bonds are two of the cornerstones of Tech’s class and give Paul Johnson’s team a pair of headliners in the secondary. Both members of the duo are capable of seeing the field early if need be. Carpenter and Showell provide solid depth and could contribute down the road.
