Tech assistant coach Mike Pelton’s recruiting strategy

Defensive line coach Mike Pelton on recruiting at Georgia Tech: “It’s a combination (of factors), but once you’re here long enough, it’s like anything. You know the rules, you know the territory. You’ve just got to go find it.” HYOSUB SHIN / HSHIN@AJC.COM

With the last day of May next Tuesday, the recruiting period when football coaches can be on the road evaluating prospects will end. This has been the fourth offseason that defensive line coach Mike Pelton has been on the job for Tech, starting with his hire in January 2013.

That time has given Pelton a greater understanding of Tech and how to sell the school.
