Recruiting: DB Tariq Carpenter Flips from UCF, is Commitment #21 for Georgia Tech

In the final few days before National Signing Day on Wednesday, Georgia Tech’s coaching staff has been hard at work putting the finishing touches on their 2017 recruiting class. The Jackets have added to their impressive recruiting class with the commitment of DB Tariq Carpenter, a big safety prospect out of Long County High School in Ludowici, GA.

Carpenter originally committed to UCF in April, but had hinted heavily at flipping since bigger offers began to roll in. He commits to Georgia Tech after an official visit to Miami the previous weekend, although he hadn’t received an offer yet from the Hurricanes.
