Along with Kentucky, he was also considering Auburn and North Carolina. Butker is considered to be the state's best kicker.
"I just finished looking at all of my options. My parents and I were talking about Georgia Tech. That's where I want to be. I felt most comfortable with the coaches, I have the chance to be a four-year starter, and I felt most at home there. Georgia Tech just felt right there." -- Harrison Butker
