Georgia Tech made huge waves on the recruiting trail today by being able to land five-star OT Josh Petty and that put them into the top 20 of the national recruiting rankings on 247Sports. Getting Petty is huge for the Georgia Tech class and they now jumped SMU for the No. 4 class in the ACC, trailing only Miami, Clemson, and Florida State. There could be more good news on the way as well.

Four-Star defensive tackle Christian Garrett de-committed from Georgia last night and is trending towards Georgia Tech, with multiple predictions coming in across the recruiting industry for the Yellow Jackets to land the talented defensive lineman. That would also be a huge win for Georgia Tech and move them closer to the top three.

Miami and Clemson have had some quiet weeks on the recruiting trail as of late, but still hold the top two spots in the rankings. They are both still in the mix for prospects as well so keep an eye on them.

Florida State missed out on Petty, but they still hold the highest average recruit ranking in the ACC and one of the highest in the country.

SMU remains in the top five and Rhett Lashlee has the Mustangs positioned for a solid class, especially if the can hit on their remaining targets.

There was not much movement elsewhere in the rankings. Pitt and Syracuse moved up in the rankings thanks to Duke dropping a few spots, but everything else remained the same.
