The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets finally got some good news in the afternoon, with the addition of three-star linebacker Beau Hankins making up for at least a part of the loss of Will Adams to the Auburn Tigers and the miss of local four-star Dalvin Tomlinson, plus the loss of co-offensive line coach Todd Spencer due to a NCAA recruiting violation.
Tech has 17 letters of intent in the bag, with the defensive front seven getting perhaps the biggest boost. Four-star defensive end Francis Kallon leads the new defensive linemen, while four-star athlete/quarterback and Alabama decommit Justin Thomas may be the biggest name.
