Georgia Tech added one pure linebacker in their 2020 recruiting class when they landed the signing day commitment and signing of linebacker Khatavian Franks. Primarily recruited by Andrew Thacker, the Yellow Jackets made a big push late for the Creekside High School standout.
At 6-foot-2 and 205-pounds, Franks is already a pretty good size and should only need to add a few more pounds before taking the field. We believe that Franks could be a player that sees immediate playing time for the Yellow Jackets despite having quality depth at the position. That being said, if the Jackets decide to redshirt Franks, it wouldn’t be a horrible idea either but the ability to play right away is most certainly there.
