Georgia Tech is set to have a loaded recruiting group on campus Thursday night when the Yellow Jackets face Colorado at the Flats.
The list of visitors includes Prince Che, Myles Tate, Chandler Dyson, Elijah Reeves and Terrence Brandon Jr., giving the program a chance to put its future in front of some of the state’s most talked-about prospects.
Che is the headliner among the names mentioned. The defensive lineman from defending state champion Thomas County Central has built a reputation as a force inside, someone who can disrupt plays and win at the point of attack. He has been heavily recruited in Georgia, and his play has clearly left an impression.
Tate brings a different kind of edge presence. The defensive lineman is known for his quickness, his first step and his bend, traits that make him a tough matchup off the edge.
Dyson is another player Georgia Tech has kept close tabs on while continuing to strengthen that relationship. He has opened the season well and helped lead Warner Robins to a 2-0 start.
Reeves is already committed to Georgia Tech, so Thursday night will give him a chance to see the Yellow Jackets up close in a meaningful game.
Brandon Jr. is also a name to watch. He already has a teammate committed to Georgia Tech in Joshua Sam-Epelle, and he has spoken positively about the program before. Back in July, he said:
“Georgia Tech made a strong impression on me; one of the reasons is that it was one of the first schools to offer me, which means a lot to me. The relationship with Coach Key and the staff is amazing.
Every time I see Coach Key in person, he comes and speaks first. It’s always a good conversation, which is rare for head coaches to stop and talk.
With the rest of the staff, Coach Mo, Ted Baugh, Coach Brock, and Coach Bell stay in touch with me pretty often just with texts and phone calls,” said Brandon Jr.
“The thing that stands out the most to me about GT is how they’re on the rise. What I mean by on the rise each year is their record has been getting better and better, and you can see it’s something special going on in the program based on the ‘27 commits they have so far.”
Douglas County ATH Justin Spivey is also listed as waiting to confirm.

Georgia Tech Is Suddenly In Play For A Coveted Stanford Commit
Marquis Fennell has become one of the more intriguing names on Georgia Techs radar, and not just because the Yellow Jackets would love to keep an elite Georgia talent closer to home. The Valdosta High standout, recognized as the states 6A offensive player of the year, is already committed to Stanford, but he has continued to explore his options by taking visits and staying in touch with other programs, including Georgia Tech and Florida State.
For Georgia Tech, the appeal is obvious: landing a player of Fennells caliber would be a major win on the recruiting trail and a statement about the programs pull inside the state. Stanford is still very much in the mix, though, and Fennell is watching closely to see how the Cardinal develops under new coach Tavita Pritchard before making anything final. [Read more 🡒]
Georgia Tech Could Make Colorados New QB Uncomfortable Right Away
Colorado is heading into Week 1 with a redshirt freshman quarterback expected to steer the offense, and that alone makes the opener a revealing one. Julian Lewis arrives with the kind of recruiting pedigree that brings attention, but the real story now is how he handles a road debut against a Georgia Tech team that should be eager to make every early snap feel bigger than it is.
Lewis has drawn encouraging comments from quarterbacks coach Hajj-Malik Williams about his progress and readiness, but the first real test is still ahead. The Yellow Jackets will have every reason to pressure him into uncomfortable decisions in a hostile environment, and Lewis ability to use his legs could be a major factor in whether Colorado settles in or spends the afternoon on edge.

Georgia Tech Faces A Huge Recruiting Test During Colorado Weekend
Georgia Tech will spend its Colorado weekend doing more than trying to win a football game. A large group of 2028 recruits is set to be on hand, giving the Yellow Jackets a chance to show off the program, the atmosphere and the direction they believe they are headed. The visitor list includes Isaiah Reeves, Elijah Reeves, Havyn Searels, Tory Clark, TJ Brandon, Bryce Willingham, John Matthews, Quincy Mills and twins Quinn and Cole Pollock, a mix of prospects with growing offer sheets and others still sorting through early recruiting attention.
Elijah Reeves is already committed to Georgia Tech, but the rest of the group brings a more revealing test of how the staff is selling itself to younger targets. Some of these recruits already view Georgia Tech as an early favorite or a key stop, while others have additional visits lined up and plenty of decisions still ahead. Weekend visits like this can matter a lot in recruiting, especially when the school is trying to turn early interest into real momentum, and this one gives the Yellow Jackets a chance to make a strong impression in front of a deep class.
