Sam-Epelle Chooses Georgia Tech

Joshua Sam-Epelle, a towering six-foot-nine, 310-pound offensive tackle and the top-ranked recruit in Georgia Tech’s 2027 class, has officially committed to the Yellow Jackets — a major win for Coach Brent Key’s program despite fierce competition from Georgia and Tennessee. His decision, made after an official visit to Athens, underscores Georgia Tech’s growing recruiting momentum, now ranked 22nd nationally with 25 commitments. Sam-Epelle, the 16th-best offensive tackle and 112th overall player in the 2027 class, is also the eighth-best Georgia native, signaling his elite high school performance. While Georgia missed out, they’re not backing down — recently flipping four-star tackle Kennedee Jackson from Florida to keep pace in the trenches race.
