College football recruiting never truly stops, but it is going to start picking up steam in the coming months as prospects start making their way around for spring visits. Georgia Tech and head coach Brent Key are expecting a big visitor this Sunday.

Four-star tight end Kylan Fox (Grayson High School, GA) is a top 100 player in the 2024 recruiting class according to 247Sports and he tweeted on Friday afternoon that he is going to be visiting the Flats this weekend.

This is huge news for Georgia Tech to be able to get Fox on campus. He is one of the top players in the state of Georgia and has huge upside at tight end, but he is also a defensive end.

Fox is not the biggest prospect at his position (6'4 208 LBS), but he is a terrific receiving threat and is dangerous from anywhere on the field.

In the month of January, Fox took unofficial visits to Florida State and Florida. In the month of March, he is also set to take visits to Miami, UCF, and Ole Miss.

Here is the scouting report on Fox from 247Sports Director of Scouting Andrew Ivins:

"A two-way player on Friday nights that has gotten snaps at both tight end and edge rusher. Has the desired measurements as he’s over 6-foot-4 and blessed with some additional length in the arms. Flashed on the defensive side of the ball as a sophomore in the Peach State’s highest classification, but started to bill himself as more of a tight end after a junior campaign in which he caught 25 passes for 326 yards and two scores. As a route runner, uses lanky stride to get across the field and find holes in zone coverage. Owns a bigger catch radius, but needs to keep improving the hands. Must also learn how to consistently find leverage if he’s going to be a true in-line player on Saturdays. As a defender, has showcased the ability to get around the corner and get home as he uses a nice forward lean to generate momentum. However, will need to keep progressing and learn how to formulate a plan as a pass rusher if his primary goal one day will be to pressure opposing quarterbacks. Overall, should be viewed as big athlete with some tools to work with. A case could be made that his ceiling might be highest on defense given length and burst, but had his moments as a pass catcher spring before senior season on the camp circuit."

Georgia Tech made the top 15 list for Fox and it is good that they got him on campus. Let's see where this recruitment goes from here.

Georgia Tech currently has one player committed for the 2024 class and that is four-star quarterback Jakhari Williams (Macon, GA). Williams is the guy that Key is going to be building this class around and that is a very good building block.

Currently, Georgia Tech's class is ranked 50th on 247Sports.
