Right on the heels of the start to fall camp late last week, Georgia Tech’s coaching staff got its tenth commitment from 3-star Florida DB O.J. Tucker.

As the tenth commitment in the class, Tucker becomes the third defensive back in the class, joining Jaytlin Askew and Dameon Williams. Tucker stands 6’0”, weighs in at 190 pounds, and comes from Vanguard High School in Ocala, FL. He commits to Georgia Tech over reported offers from Nebraska, Mississippi State, North Carolina, Kentucky, Iowa State, UCF, and more FBS programs.

Listed between 6’0” and 6’1” (depending on the site) and approaching 200 pounds, Tucker shows good size for a cornerback, which translates into good shows of strength when trying to knock wide receivers off of the line of scrimmage and when playing the ball on passes.
