Rumors began swirling Wednesday afternoon about Georgia Tech gaining a commitment for its 2017 class. Those rumors were confirmed on Thursday morning, as 4-star DB Gentry Bonds announced his commitment to Georgia Tech.
This is a big-time pickup for the Yellow Jackets, as Bonds becomes the the highest-rated recruit in the class (depending on which service is being considered). A native of Murfreesboro, TN, Bonds stands 6’1” and weighs in around 190 pounds. He plays for Riverdale High School, where he’s the highest-rated recruit in recent years. Bonds commits to Georgia Tech over the remainder of his top 5 — Clemson, Nebraska, Missouri, and Kentucky — as well as offers from Louisville, North Carolina, Tennessee, and Vanderbilt.
