Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets suffer a blow on the recruiting trail as four-star cornerback Traejen Greco decommits just hours before their game against No. 1 ranked Georgia tonight. Greco, who had been committed to Georgia Tech since the summer, is the second-highest-rated member of the 2024 class and has had a stellar senior season. He is currently ranked as the No. 215 player in the country and No. 17 cornerback. Greco's visit to Missouri last week seems to have influenced his decision.
Missouri, who is riding high with a New Year's Six bowl appearance, is also making waves on the recruiting front. They recently secured a commitment from Jayven Richardson, one of the top junior college players in the country. Now, they are trending to land Greco, with the On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine predicting a positive outcome for the Tigers. Greco expressed that his decision to decommit from Georgia Tech was based on the desire to explore other opportunities and step out of his comfort zone.
This loss is significant for Georgia Tech, as Greco is a talented in-state player that they were hoping to keep. However, head coach Geoff Collins still has time to make up for this setback before signing day. The Tigers, on the other hand, are looking to strengthen their class further with the potential addition of Greco, which would boost Missouri's already promising recruiting rankings.
