Georgia Tech adds to its wide receiving corps with its latest addition on Sunday afternoon. On a post via Instagram, former North Carolina WR Evan Haynes announced he was transferring to Georgia Tech. He will also join former Fellowship Christian teammate and current Yellow Jacket Josh Petty. He will have four years of eligibility remaining.
Haynes was a three-star prospect coming out of high school. He was rated as a Top 150 WR and slightly out of the top 100 rankings in the state per On3 Industry Rankings. Haynes was a multi-sport star with Fellowship Christian based out of Roswell, Georgia. Haynes starred in lacrosse for the Paladins and was also a standout on the track. He set the record with a 10.96 100M dash in track and field and broke the record he said he would prior to the season starting. He will bring elite speed to the Flats. Here are all the records he broke at Fellowship Christian back when he was in high school.
“In track, I hold multiple records which I am proud of. I hold the 200M and 400M records. I hold 4X100M, 4X200M, and 4X400M records. I am 0.1 off the 100M record, which will be broken this year. I will be a part of six records coming this season.”
This is a move built for the future of the Yellow Jackets. A guy who can be a building block in the next era of wide receivers for the Yellow Jackets. Haynes is an underrated get for Georgia Tech and could be a major weapon in the future. He possesses a lot of the qualities you look for in the WR position. You match his speed, with his strong hands, huge catch radius, and ability to make big plays, and he is a problem. Haynes has all the tools to be great at the collegiate level.
