Georgia Tech landed its first commitment in the Class of 2016 Saturday evening, and the newest Yellow Jacket plays a position in need of another body for the future.
According to multiple outlets 6-foot-6 small forward Christian Matthews verbally committed to Georgia Tech, making him the second member of this year’s Team Takover program to commit to an ACC school. The first was five-star wing V.J. King, who has verbally committed to Louisville. Matthews, a native of Fort Washington, Maryland, attends National Christian Academy.
As far as Georgia Tech is concerned, they hope Matthews can be as productive as another Fort Washington native was during his time in Atlanta in point guard amd current pro Jarrett Jack.
