DT Chris Martin (Rising Seniors)

Georgia Tech picked up its third commitment for 2016 on Saturday night.

Chris Martin, a 3-star defensive end from Grayson High School, committed to the Yellow Jackets, among his 11 early offers, which also included Kentucky and Boston College.

“It was the perfect fit it has everything I look for in a college,” Martin told the AJC. “It’s perfect, and the place for me. Everything about it I love.”

The 6-foot-2, 260-pound Martin is rated as the state’s No. 98 overall prospect.
