Jason Peters commits to Georgia Tech

Published on: 01/29/07 4:55 PM

Just hours after Georgia Tech was disappointed to learn it won’t get one of the final two recruits the Yellow Jackets sought, coach Chan Gailey learned that he’ll get another as Baton Rouge (La.) defensive end Jason Peters committed to Tech.

Peters visited LSU over the weekend, and also visited Nebraska and national champion Florida.

The 6-foot-3, 255-pound Peters is ranked the No. 28 defensive end in the nation by Scout.com.

Either late Sunday or early Monday, Gailey learned that Oxnard, Calif., “athlete” Malachi Lewis had decided to attend Oregon.

Given that development, it is believed that the Yellow Jackets will re-open recruitment of at least one additional athlete, most likely a defensive player.

Tech has 19 commitments after severing ties last week with Detroit cornerback/athlete Cedric Everson.
