Georgia Tech Recruiting: DE Sylvain Yondjouen signs with Tech!

On an Early National Signing Day filled with high-profile flips, Tech nabbed another of its own: three-star DE Sylvain Yondjouen from Belgium. Yondjouen had been committed to Arizona since late November, but after visiting campus last week, he made the decision to flip on Signing Day.

Yondjouen is rated the #1 recruit in the country (of Belgium) and seems poised to follow in the footsteps of fellow ACC alum and European-born defensive end, Bjoern Werner (formerly of the Indianapolis Colts and Jacksonville Jaguars). He had offers from around the nation, including Colorado, Cincinnati, UMass, and Temple, but defensive guru Geoff Collins convinced him to come play on the Flats.
