Coach Collins has again bolstered Tech’s signing class with the addition of DE Michael Lockhart from Birmingham, AL. Lockhart announced his commitment through this post on Twitter:
Lockhart was a late bloomer on the recruiting trail, blowing up in January after completing his first season playing football. Lockhart spent most of his high school career playing basketball, but joined the football team this season. After a strong showing, Power-5 teams began to notice. Lockhart was quickly inundated with offers, and chose to officially visit 3 schools: UNC, Mississippi State, and Georgia Tech. These 3 schools became his finalists.
