Football: Meet the Recruits 2017 - DB Avery Showell

Avery Showell became the 18th commitment of Georgia Tech’s 2017 recruiting class when he committed on Sunday, January 22nd — just a few hours after Kelton Dawson’s commitment, and a few hours before a third commitment of the day following a weekend of official visits. Showell is listed at 6’1”, 192 pounds, and comes to Georgia Tech from Cartersville High School in Cartersville, GA. He committed to the Yellow Jackets over offers from Minnesota, West Virginia, Wake Forest, and several others. Showell is rated a 3-star recruit by Rivals (5.6) and the 247Sports Composite (0.8320).
