Georgia Tech took a slight fall in the recruiting rankings, but that was due to Miami hitting big on some targets.

The Yellow Jackets went from having the No. 3 class in the ACC to No. 5 in just one week, falling behind both Miami and North Carolina. Brent Key and his staff did not get a commitment this week, but this is still looking like a very strong debut class for Key as the head coach in Atlanta.

As mentioned, the Hurricanes surged this week thanks to a surprise commitment from five-star athlete Jojo Trader and four-star defensive tackle Artavius Jones. Miami head coach Mario Cristobal landed the ACC's top class a year ago and could be in a position to do so again.

One thing that is noticeable in looking at the ACC recruiting rankings is that Florida State, Clemson, and Miami are starting to pull away from the rest of the conference. The Tigers remain in the top spot on the 247Sports team rankings in the ACC with 245.67 points and right behind them is the Seminoles with 244.60 points. Miami got a big boost with the two commits they landed and have 237.19 points.

North Carolina was able to leapfrog Georgia Tech in the rankings with big commitments this week from four-star safety Malcolm Ziglar and three-star wide receiver Jordan Shipp.

Duke, Pitt, and Virginia Tech are still at the 6-8 spots in the conference. The Blue Devils and the Panthers both have 20 commitments in their respective classes and the Hokies have 16.

The rest of the ACC remains unchanged from last week's update.

Wake Forest, Syracuse, Louisville, NC State, Virginia, and Boston College make up the rest of the rankings. Virginia added defensive lineman Tyler Simmons this week and he is an intriguing prospect with upside.
