Georgia Tech's recruiting weekend got a lot better on Sunday night when Camden High School (SC) defensive lineman Shymeik Jones committed to play his college football in Atlanta for Brent Key.

Jones becomes the 13th commitment for the Yellow Jackets in their 2023 class and is the second-highest-rated commitment for Georgia Tech behind interior offensive lineman Gabriel Fortson.

Jones brings a lot of athleticism and length to the Georgia Tech defensive line for the future and is going to be an intriguing prospect to watch for the future. Getting linemen with these types of tools is crucial to be able to rush the passer effectively and be more athletic up front.

Jones was committed to App State, but de-committed from the Mountaineers today before pledging to Georgia Tech.

This is a good win for Key and the defensive staff as signing day is quickly approaching this week. The coaching staff also added Texas A&M transfer quarterback Haynes King and Minnesota linebacker Braelen Oliver, who were both visiting this weekend.

The Yellow Jackets 2023 class currently ranks 63rd according to the 247Sports Composite and is 13th in the ACC.
