Georgia Tech is possibly going to have to make multiple additions to the tight end room after the 2023 season.
Dylan Leonard, Luke Benson, and Peje' Harris could all be gone after the 2023 season, and the only tight end that might still be on the roster is freshman transfer Jackson Long (USF).
Now, it is unlikely that all of those guys leave Atlanta, but it is possible. If that happens, Georgia Tech is going to have to make multiple additions at the tight end position in 2024 either through the transfer portal or in high school recruiting.
So who could be the top targets at tight end for Georgia Tech in the 2024 recruiting class?
Kylan Fox (Grayson, GA) is ranked inside the top 100 players in the country for next year's recruiting class and received an offer from Georgia Tech in December. The 2023 recruiting class signed last month and the coaching staff is already hard at work recruiting some of the best talents in the state of Georgia. Fox is a dangerous threat at the tight end position and this might be a big position of need for the Yellow Jackets in the next recruiting class.
Fox is not the biggest prospect at his position (6'4 208 LBS) and might be considered more of an athlete, but is a terrific receiving threat and is dangerous from anywhere on the field. He has offers from a lot of the top programs in the country including Alabama, Georgia, Louisville, NC State, Ohio State, Arkansas, Auburn, Florida, Florida State, LSU, Michigan, and Texas, among others.
New wide receivers coach Josh Crawford offered Fox in December and the next thing will be to get him on campus.
Caleb Odom (Carrolton, GA) was the latest tight end to receive an offer from Georgia Tech. The 6'5 205 LBS tight end is an intriguing prospect that is only getting better and he could be in for a big 2023 season next fall.
Georgia Tech is not the only program that has offered Odom and he will be highly sought after. Auburn, Florida, Duke, Boston College, Louisville, Kentucky, North Carolina, South Carolina, West Virginia, and Ole Miss are some of the other offers that the talented tight end has.
Like Fox, it will be interesting to see if the staff can get Odom on campus at some point this spring or summer.
This one might be a bit of a longshot right now, but four-star tight end and current Michigan commit Hogan Hansen (Bellevue, WA) did visit the Yellow Jackets last summer and if Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh were to leave Michigan for the NFL, the Michigan commit could re-open his recruitment and Georgia Tech could get involved again. Again, it is a long shot, but worth mentioning because he has visited Atlanta before.
The 2024 class for Georgia Tech currently has one commitment and it is four-star quarterback Jakhari Williams (Macon, GA). Williams is a solid start to the class and Georgia Tech will be hoping to improve upon its 2023 recruiting ranking.
