This month, Jullian "JuJu" Lewis became the 14th member of Georgia Tech football's incoming class of true freshmen by signing a letter-of-intent to attend the school and play football.
The signing was highly anticipated, as Lewis has become famous around the country for his burst and speed, making him a dangerous weapon in almost any scheme.
Georgia Tech Head Coach Geoff Collins spoke excitedly about the signing, saying, “We’re excited to officially welcome Jullian to the Georgia Tech football family. We’re very pleased with our talented group of newcomers, which currently includes 14 incoming true freshmen and seven transfers. They are all great young men that have a chance to be special players on the football field. I can’t wait to get back to work on the field with our group in less than three weeks and to welcome our entire team to The Flats this summer.”
Georgia Tech has had a highly successful offseason so far, signing 13 recruits in December's early signing period. Of those 13 that were signed, eight of them were four-star, highly touted recruits.
This represents the Yellow Jackets' second-highest concentration of four-star recruits since rankings started being tracked in 2002. This incoming class trails only the very famous 2007 recruiting class which included future stars for Georgia Tech.
Adding to their successful offseason are seven transfer players that enrolled at Tech. The incoming group of transfers is currently ranked at No. 20 nationally by 247Sports.
