Julian Burnett, a hard-hitting linebacker from Westside-Macon, became the 18th member of Georgia Tech’s 2009 recruiting class on Tuesday when he committed to the Jackets.
He chose Tech over N.C. State and Ole Miss. He cited first-year Tech coach Paul Johnson as a primary factor in his decision.
“I was just impressed with coach Johnson,” the 5-foot-10, 220-pound Burnett said. “He impressed me with the kind of season he had. And it’s only going to get better.”
Following in-home visits from several competing colleges last week, Burnett determined over the next few days that he’d like to call Tech his new home. He picked the Yellow Jackets over offers from South Carolina, Purdue, Wake Forest and N.C. State.
“I had a lot on my mind following those visits,” said Burnett, who will take an official visit to Tech on the weekend of Dec. 19. “But I started having dreams that I should go to Georgia Tech.
“In my mind, it was like that happened for a reason.”
