Signing Day Central: Updates as Georgia Tech welcomes 2026 class
National Signing Day has officially begun as commits will become signees all across the country on Wednesday (and over the next three days), including Georgia Tech expected to add 20-plus players to its program in that time frame.
Jackets Online has you covered as updates will be provided below when signings officially come in throughout the next few days. Commits will be added to the running list below as they hold their respective signing ceremonies at their schools. Check it out:
Sprayberry (Ga.) safety Kealan Jones
Jones was a late flip to the Jackets as he switched his commitment from in-state rival Georgia to Georgia Tech this past Monday to give the coaching staff its first safety commit in the class. Jones will be an early enrollee in January and said he is excited to join Brent Key’s program.
“I chose GT because the love I was getting from those coaches is unmatched,” Jones told JOL this week. “You’ve got to go where you’re wanted at the end of the day. I have a great opportunity to come in and put the work in to earn a starting spot, and that’s what I plan to do.”
Kell (Ga.) tight end Nathan Agyemang
Agyemang committed to Tech this past July and has been locked in with the Jackets ever since then, telling other programs his recruitment was over despite their attempts to sway him. He is an early enrollee and will be on The Flats in January.
“It means everything to me to be able to sign with Georgia Tech,” Agyemang told JOL this week. “I’m grateful for the opportunity to represent this program, and I’m locked in on doing whatever I can to help this class build something special.”
Blessed Trinity (Ga.) punter Jonathan Genty
Genty received the offer from Georgia Tech after impressing Jackets’ special teams coach Tim Salem at a specialist camp this past summer and committed to GT in Junes. He has served as a kicker and punter in high school but will focus on punting on the college level.
“Signing with Georgia Tech is truly a dream come true,” Genty told JOL this week. “From the moment I connected with the staff, it felt like the right place for me. I’m proud to be part of a class that’s aiming to elevate the program. I’m ready to be a part of this growing program.”
East Coweta (Ga.) offensive tackles Courtney Heard and Courtlin Heard
The twin Heard brothers joined the Jackets’ class back in June and were locked in from that point on as Tech offensive line coach Geep Wade made them a priority in the 2026 class. Both will be early enrollees and be on campus at GT in January.
“It feels great being a part of a talented GT class, and I can’t wait to get on campus and build relationships with the guys and get to work,” Courtney Heard told JOL this week. “Go Jackets!”
“It means a lot to me to be a part of this team,” Courtlin Heard told JOL this week. “I think Brent Key is a great coach and genuinely wants the best for his players future and not just for football. I also think GT is on the rise, and that’s something I would love to be part of.”
Osceola (Fla.) defensive lineman Amier Clarke
The big defensive lineman Clarke chose Georgia Tech back in July over Rutgers, Boston College, Syracuse and others and then went on to have a big senior season at Osceola.
“What it means to me to sign with Georgia Tech is being a part of a great program not only for athletics but for academics as well,” Clarke told JOL this week. “For the next four years, I would love to be a part of this program and being coached by this staff! Go Jackets!”
Brooks County (Ga.) cornerback Traeviss Stevenson
Stevenson was Tech’s first commit of the 2026 class all the way back in March, and the Jackets’ staff was able to keep him in the fold despite efforts from some other Power 4 programs around the country over the summer to try to pull him away, including Georgia, Texas, Florida, Florida State, Auburn and Michigan, just to name a few.
Madison County (Fla.) cornerback Ladarrious ‘LJ’ Crumity
Crumity was identified as a priority target early in the 2026 cycle for his playmaking skills in the secondary and was an early Georgia Tech commit in late March. He did a little bit of everything for his high school team this season as quarterback, running back, defensive back and kick/punt returner to lead Madison County to a second-round appearance in the Florida Rural State Playoffs.
Rabun Gap-Nacoochee (Ga.) wide receiver Isaac Obrokta
Obrokta is one of five receivers in this Georgia Tech class, and he has the ability to play inside or outside as displayed by his productive senior season at Rabun Gap. He had other opportunities from Florida State and Ole Miss but chose to commit to the Jackets back in June and never waivered.
American Heritage (Fla.) linebacker Kymani Morales
Morales is an athletic linebacker from The Sunshine State and committed to Georgia Tech back in June over offers from in-state schools UCF, USF and Florida A&M as well as offers from Power 4 schools Minnesota, Kentucky and Purdue. An injury in the middle of his senior season slowed him down a bit, but he (as well as high school teammate Jeffar Jean-Noel) will be on campus at Tech in January as early enrollees.
“It means everything (to sign)!” Morales told JOL this week. “Proving myself is something I’ve been doing my whole life. Can’t wait to prove the college and NFL level that I’m one of one! This (Tech) ’26 class might be the class everybody’s looking for! We born different!”
Marist (Ga.) tight end Jack Richerson
Richerson is a two-sport athlete that expects to play both football and baseball at Georgia Tech and committed to the Jackets back in June over other offers from Indiana, Wake Forest, Duke and others. He suffered a season-ending injury as a senior in October during one of his games at Marist but expects to be back practicing for Georgia Tech next season.
Manchester (Ga.) cornerback Jaedyn Terry
Terry was another important early commit for the Jackets’ 2026 class as he picked Georgia Tech back in March. Other schools came calling for the big, physical cornerback, including Alabama, Kansas State, Kentucky and several others, but he stuck with the Jackets and will be an early enrollee on campus in January.
“I thank God for placing me in the position I’m in,” Terry told JOL this week. “I’m beyond blessed to be able to sign, lock in and do my part for this class. Sting Em!”
Carrollton (Ga.) linebacker CJ Gamble
Gamble became a priority target very early for Georgia Tech with the staff getting to know him well as a junior at Carrollton and identifying him as a top linebacker option in the 2026 class before closing on him for his commitment in early May. He has been locked in ever since and has been one of the ambassadors for this Jackets’ class while also producing a big senior season to help the Trojans to a Class AAAAAA Final Four Berth as they are set to host North Gwinnett on Friday with a state championship appearance on the line.
“Signing to GT means the world to me,” Gamble told JOL this week. “I can’t wait to be a part of this amazing team and to be a part of the big future that’s planned. Go Jackets!”
American Heritage (Fla.) wide receiver Jeffar Jean-Noel
The playmaking wide receiver has a been a big part of American Heritage’s offensive success in the past few seasons, including this year as the team is set for a state semifinal matchup this Friday. Jean-Noel had plenty of other Power 4 opportunities, including UCF, Pitt, Kentucky, Miami, Michigan and several more but committed to Georgia Tech back in June and stayed strong with the Jackets through signing day.
“God brought me to Georgia Tech,” Jean-Noel told JOL this week. “The culture is real. I’m ready to work, ready to grow and ready to make my mark.”
Pike Road (Ala.) linebacker Braylon Outlaw
Outlaw was a big addition to the Jackets’ 2026 class late as the coaching staff really turned up the heat on him during the season with multiple visits to The Flats, including an official back in mid-October. He decommitted from Tennessee soon after that and was a silent commit for a while before making it public on Monday.
“I’m extremely excited to sign and be a part of the GT family,” Outlaw told JOL this week. “There are some great ball players signing, and I’m more than ready to get to work with them.”
Rome (Ga.) wide receiver Jeremy ‘JJ’ Winston
Winston was a fast-riser as he just started playing high school football prior to his junior year after primarily being a basketball player before that. He quickly became a playmaker at the wide receiver position as well as a kick returner and had a huge senior season with more than 1,000 receiving yards as he was named his region’s player of the year. He committed to Georgia Tech back in June after an official visit to The Flats along with his high school teammate Darnell Collins. Winston had other offers from West Virginia, Minnesota, Virginia Tech, Indiana and several more but chose to stay close to home to play for the Jackets.
Rome (Ga.) wide receiver/safety Darnell Collins
Collins burst onto the recruiting scene thanks in large part to a huge junior season at Rome as the offers started pouring in from college programs that saw him as a wide receiver or a safety on the next level. He chose Georgia Tech after an official visit in June along with his high school teammate Jeremy ‘JJ’ Winston, picking the Jackets over other offers from Indiana, Kentucky, NC State, Vanderbilt and more. Indiana made a significant push during his senior season in which he was named his region’s all-purpose player/athlete of the year, but in the end Collins chose to stick with the Jackets.
“I committed to GT because it felt like home, the coaching staff and I love the environment,” Collins told JOL this week.
Calvert Hall College (Md.) safety Chris Hewitt Jr.
Hewitt was a signing day surprise for Georgia Tech as he flipped his commitment from Rutgers to the Jackets to give the coaching staff its second safety commit of the class and of this past week. Along with GT and Rutgers, Hewitt has a strong offer list that includes Maryland, Penn State, Virginia Tech, Pitt, Miami, Tennessee, Michigan, Oklahoma and UNC just to name a few.
Parker (Ala.) wide receiver Kentrell Davis
The long, athletic, playmaking receiver from the state of Alabama had plenty of interest from other Power 4 schools (Mississippi State, Vanderbilt, Texas A&M, Washington, Kentucky) but took an official visit to Georgia Tech in mid-June and decided not long after that The Flats was the place for him. He is a big part of the 2026 class especially at wide receiver where Tech WRs coach Trent McKnight went out and got some underrated football players in this cycle.
Morrow (Ga.) defensive lineman Christian Speakman
Georgia Tech entered into the picture late in the process for Speakman, who had been committed to Georgia State since the summer, but made him reconsider his recruitment with a midseason gameday visit in October. Speakman then waited on the Jackets’ offer and finally got it before coming on his official visit for the Pittsburgh game weekend (Nov. 22). He was blown away by the visit and the chance to play on The Flats as well the opportunity to be coached by GT defensive line coach Jess Simpson. He has been a silent commitment since that weekend.
“I’m really excited. You can feel that the program is building something special, and I want to be part of that rise,” Speakman recently told JOL. “There’s a lot of energy around the future here, and I’m ready to come in, work and help keep pushing things forward.”
Gainesville (Ga.) interior offensive lineman Krew Moledor
Moledor was a late surprise as he flipped from Louisville to Georgia Tech on Thursday after the Jackets’ coaching staff pushed hard for him in the past few days to get him in the fold and add a third offensive lineman to the class. He is an early enrollee and will be on campus in January after he completes his state playoff run with Gainesville.
“I decided to flip to Georgia Tech because I believe in what Georgia Tech is doing, and I’m excited to stay close to home!” Moledor told JOL on Thursday.
Pell City (Ala.) edge Jordan Woods
Woods’ recruitment surged during the middle of his senior season as the once Jacksonville State commit started gaining Power 4 interest after some strong early film from the first few games of the 2025 season at Pell City. He picked up a Georgia Tech offer in October, took his official visit in late November and ultimately decided The Flats was the place for him, decommitting from Jax State after the visit and choosing the Jackets over NC State.
“Honestly, it just felt like home,” Woods told JOL this week. “The coaches were super real with me and showed me how I’d fit in and get better. I liked the chance to come in and compete early, and the academics are awesome too. When you put all that together, it just made sense—this is the place I want to be. I’m super excited. You can feel the energy around the team right now, and it seems like the program is really moving in the right direction. I just can’t wait to get in there, work hard, and be a part of helping Georgia Tech keep getting better.”
