Justin Akins: Georgia Tech DE from Jackson HS 

By Michael Carvell

  • Justin Akins, DE, 6-5, 240, Jackson
  • Comment: Picked Tech over Clemson and N.C. State. … Was seriously considering Clemson until Grayson DE Robert Nkemdiche committed to the Tigers. (Nkemdiche later reneged on Clemson.) … Likely will study business. … Finished with 92 tackles, including 12 for losses, and four sacks as senior.
  • Quotable: “With Justin, he’s a kid I’ve really seen grow a lot over the past few years. He’s playing a lot better and with more confidence. He played on a very good defensive line in high school with Jay Woods (committed to Vanderbilt) and that pushed him to be better. Justin is good against the run, but also can pursue the QB.” – Scout.com’s Chad Simmons
