Georgia Tech has lost its top-rated recruit for the 2023 recruiting cycle tonight with the decommitment of Javin Simpkins, a three-star running back from Norland High School (FL).

This is the second time that Simpkins has backed off of his commitment to Georgia Tech. Simpkins was committed to Tech previously but de-committed last December before recommitting to the Yellow Jackets in July.

Simpkins is a talented runner who is shifty in the open field. I thought he was one of the most underrated backs in the country and would have been a great addition to the class.

This is the second running back to de-commit from Georgia Tech in the last month. Trey Cornist from Winton Woods High School (OH) de-committed in October. This comes after former running backs coach Mike Daniels re-signed last month in the middle of the season and Daniels was the primary recruiter for both players.

Defensive prospect Kamal Bonner also backed off of his commitment to the Yellow Jackets last month.

This drops Georgia Tech's overall recruiting ranking to 59th in the country.
