The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets are having one of the best opening weeks in recent college football memory.
After traveling to Ireland and escaping with a 24-21 upset over the No. 10 Florida State Seminoles, the good times kept rolling for Georgia Tech, as they secured a commitment from four-star 2025 defensive tackle Christian Garrett on Monday.
Garrett, who de-committed from the Georgia Bulldogs on August 11, checks in at No. 135 on ESPN’s 2025 Top 300 recruiting rankings and is the seventh-best defensive tackle in the class.
Hayes Fawcett of On3 posted the news Monday morning with Garrett confirming it shortly after.

Georgia Tech now has five in-state commits in the ESPN300 for 2025, the most in school history. Garrett is the second-highest-ranked recruit in the class behind offensive tackle Josh Petty, who checks in at No. 27 on the ESPN300 and committed to the school earlier this month, just a day after Garrett de-committed from Georgia.
The Yellow Jackets will look to continue their streak of success during their home opener on August 31 when they’ll host the Georgia State Panthers.
