Georgia Tech is turning heads in the recruiting world this June, and they might not be finished yet. The Yellow Jackets are still in the hunt for several top-tier recruits, and one standout name is 2027 offensive tackle Dewey Young. This blue-chip prospect is still weighing his options, and today he announced his final four schools on social media: Georgia Tech, Georgia, Vanderbilt, and Colorado.
Standing at an impressive 6'5" and weighing 285 pounds, Young plays his high school ball at Kalamazoo Central in Michigan. According to the 247Sports Composite rankings, he's the No. 275 prospect nationally, the No. 24 offensive tackle, and the No. 7 player in Michigan. His talent hasn't gone unnoticed, with offers from a slew of programs including South Carolina, Colorado, Purdue, Vanderbilt, Syracuse, Georgia, Auburn, Boston College, Cincinnati, Florida State, Indiana, and Ohio State.
Adding Young to the roster would be a significant boost to Georgia Tech's 2027 class. Under the leadership of Brent Key, the Yellow Jackets have prioritized strengthening their lines of scrimmage.
This focus is evident in their current recruiting class, which boasts one of the nation's most underrated offensive line groups. If Young decides to join, it would only enhance their already impressive lineup.
The Yellow Jackets have already secured commitments from a strong group of offensive linemen: four-star talents Joshua Sam-Epelle and Kal-El Johnson, along with three-star recruits Jaiden Thompson, Jordan Dillon, and Braylin Mills. Sam-Epelle, in particular, is a standout, being one of the top offensive line recruits in the country and a major win for Georgia Tech, having chosen them over Georgia and other SEC powerhouses.
With 26 commitments already, Georgia Tech is nearing the limit for their 2027 class, but Young is the kind of talent they'd make room for. The Yellow Jackets are closing in on Cal for the No. 4 class in the ACC and are within striking distance of Virginia Tech and Clemson. While Miami is likely to clinch the top spot in the conference, Georgia Tech's recruiting efforts are nothing short of remarkable.
It's been a stellar month for Georgia Tech on the recruiting trail, and they could soon add another top-notch prospect to their ranks.

Georgias 2026 Hype Comes With A Problem Fans Know Too Well
Georgia enters 2026 with the kind of rsum that keeps it near the top of every preseason conversation, and the expectations are easy to understand. The Bulldogs have already won national titles in 2021 and 2022, then followed an undefeated regular season in 2023 with an SEC Championship Game loss, before winning the SEC in both 2024 and 2025 and still falling short in the quarterfinals each time. With Gunner Stockton back at quarterback, the public case for another playoff run is strong enough to place Georgia sixth in the early national title odds.
The harder part is the one Bulldogs fans have seen before, even when the brand names and rankings look right. Georgia has issues to sort out along the offensive line and at receiver, and those are the kinds of problems that can make a contender look complete in August and incomplete once the games get tighter. Stockton gives them stability at the most important spot, but unless the supporting cast comes together, this could be another season where Georgia looks built for a deep run and still ends up needing a better answer in the biggest moments.
