Georgia Tech rarely pulls in the highest rated high school players but they still manage to produce noise on a national stage and even produce a number of NFL draft picks.
Shaq Mason was just a modest 3 star recruit by Scout and Rivals, but by his senior season become a USA Today First Team All-American. Zach Laskey came to Tech as a safety and punt returner and ended up an accomplished B-back and is now fighting to make the St. Louis Rams’ roster. DeAndre Smelter came to Tech on a baseball scholarship and played pitcher and outfield and is now on the roster of the San Francisco 49ers as a wide receiver.
