Three big time recruits verbal to GT

Wow you step away for a few days and miss out on all kinds of great news. In regards to last year's recruiting class, I had mentioned how Paul Johnson is building a monster program down at Georgia Tech. He's getting players now that are far above the caliber of those he has ever had at any of his coaching stops. The three latest commits are going to elevate his program even further. Just looking at offer sheets, you can tell PJ has to be smiling right now.

The first verbal is 6'4 285 OL Antonio Foster from Valdosta. Foster is ranked 3 stars by Rivals and decommited from Tennessee after Phil Fulmer announced his resignation. Foster has listed offers from South Carolina, Tennessee and South Florida. It looks like Florida, Alabama, South Carolina, and Arkansas were all trying to acquire his services after the Fulmer announcement. Foster joins 6'4 280 lb Will Jackson (3 star) and 6'1 278 C Raymond Beno (3 star) as OL recruits in this class. Its also likely that 6'4 255 lb Jay Finch (3 star) will also end up on the OL.

Georgia Tech also got a verbal from 6'0 190 lb RB Orwin Smith of Phenix City, AL. Smith is a 3 star that had offers from Alabama, Auburn, Clemson, Southern Miss, Vandy and UAB. Smith projects to the A-Back in Paul Johnson's offense.

Lastly, 6'4 190 three-star (4 stars by Scout) WR Stephen Hill of Lithonia also committed. Hill had offers from Miss State, North Carolina, Ole Miss, Boston College among others. Georgia was also showing very heavy interest.

Building a monster...
