Defensive Tackle (0/1-2)- Georgia Tech needs to sign two DTs IMO in this class, the one pure DT offer is M.J. Webb. Four hybrid targets also project as potential DTs, Travon Mathis, Cortez Alston, Jacob Lichtenstein and Aliki Vimahi. Mathis and Alston are in play, GT has an angle with Vimahi they are trying to work and Lichtenstein is planning to visit GT in July. Alston probably has the hardest transition if he has to play inside.

Rush End (0/1)- Couple of different options on this front, Drew Jordan from North Gwinnett is in play, Michael Allen Jr is in play and a bunch of national recruits.

Strongside End (0/0) Not planning to take a strongside end as of today.

Middle Linebacker (0/1) This is a tough position right now, GT is trying hard to get in on Kendric Haynes. GT did not make the top 6 for Tyler Taylor. Thomas Johnston, Jacob Phillips and Jamin Davis all in play, Phillips blew up with a huge performance at Rivals 5 Star Challenge.

Outside Linebacker (1/2)- TD Roof locks up one spot, but the other Weakside LB spot replacing PJ Davis's spot on the roster is up for grabs. Bruce Jordan-Swilling would be #1 or Leonard Warner and then you got all kinds of dudes like Jaquan Henderson, Malik Robinson (UNC soft commit) and others who are showing interest. They are aiming high for the final two LB spots in this class.

Cornerback (1/2)- GT landed Dameon Williams and then things get interesting because GT is pushing hard for Jaytlin Askew and Tre Swilling and then lots of random guys with offers who are all mid to high 3-star guys. Buford CB Joshua Blackwell committed to Duke, but he is still talking to GT as well...

Safety (0/1-2) This one depends on numbers if they sign one or two or attrition at that position in the future or if someone like Jay Jones ends up moving to safety after fall camp. Ken Handy-Holly and Jordyn Peters are big on GT, other guys are harder to read at this point.
