Georgia Tech strengthened the future of its special teams Friday.
Punter Jonathan Genty announced on social media his commitment to play for the Yellow Jackets starting in 2026. Genty (6-5, 180) is a rising senior at Blessed Trinity Catholic High School in Roswell.
Genty registered 40 punts as a junior at Blessed Trinity and averaged 35.6 yards per kick. Of those 40 punts, 17 landed inside the 20-yard line.
Kohl’s Kicking considers Genty a 5-star punter, and Chris Sailer Kicker ranks Genty the No. 2-ranked punter in the 2026 class. He finished second at the Vegas XLV national kicking championship in January.
Genty joins linebacker Kymani Morales (Fort Lauderdale, Florida); defensive lineman Alex Willis (Orlando, Florida); offensive linemen Bear Fretwell (Southeast Bulloch High) and Courtlin and Courtney Heard (East Coweta); wide receivers Kentrell Davis (Birmingham, Alabama), Isaac Obrokta (Rabun Gap-Nacoochee), Jeremy Winston Jr. (Rome) and Darnell Collins (Rome); running back Xavier Rucker (Allatoona); defensive backs Jaedyn Terry (Manchester), Traeviss Stevenson (Brooks County) and Ladarrious Crumity (Madison County in Florida); and linebacker CJ Gamble (Carrollton) as part of Tech’s ’26 recruiting class.
Tech’s recruiting class ranks 12th among ACC programs and 34th nationally.
