Rome, Georgia native and Darlington School athlete Tijai Whatley will officially join the Georgia Tech Football program on Wednesday. Whatley is expected to be a running back at Tech once he arrives on campus.
Whatley is considered a composite three-star running back and one of the top 100-players in the Peach State. Nationally, he is in the top 1,100 players and is the 80th ranked athlete in the country.
At 6-0, 180-pounds, the Yellow Jackets coaching staff will have to make a decision if they want Whatley to add weight and become a B-Back or join a clustered A-Back position.
