Top Recruit Adds Georgia Tech to His Final Six Schools

Elite four-star safety Jaelyn Easterling-Flores announced Georgia Tech as one of his final six schools. Ranked as the nation’s No. 59 player, the Arizona prospect is 6-foot-2 and 180 pounds, and his decision places the Yellow Jackets in a competitive recruiting group that includes LSU and Texas. Easterling-Flores kept Miami, LSU, Texas, Auburn, and Oklahoma in contention as well. The choice matters for Georgia Tech’s defensive plans, where the safety room is described as young; sophomore Tae Harris and Fenix Felton are expected to start, with freshmen Kymani Morales and Kealan Jones also in the mix. Georgia Tech’s 2027 recruiting class is ranked 26th nationally and fifth in the ACC.
