Georgia Tech Weekly Recruiting Update: 1/15-1/21

In this story:
It has been a week of new offers and visits for Georgia Tech and the coaching staff is working hard with the contact period still open.
This week, there seemed to be a new focus on the 2025 recruiting class, while also giving out new offers for 2024.
It was not only offers, but the Yellow Jackets also had visitors this weekend. This was the second big visiting weekend of the month for Brent Key and the Yellow Jackets staff and recruits seem to be loving what they are seeing on their visits.
Let's break down the week that was in Georgia Tech Recruiting.
