Georgia Tech picked up a commitment Wednesday from an all-state selection from powerhouse Dacula High when safety Kaleb Edwards announced his decision via Twitter.
Edwards was one of only four non-seniors to be selected to the AJC’s Class AAAAAA all-state team in December after helping lead the Falcons to the state semifinals. Edwards is a three-star prospect, holding the third highest rating (247Sports Composite) among players who have committed to coach Geoff Collins’ 2021 signing class.
Edwards, listed at 6-foot-0 and 195 pounds, has also announced scholarship offers from Notre Dame, Stanford, Virginia, Louisville and Duke, among others. He tweeted his offer from Tech on April 2.
Edwards becomes the 16th high-school senior to commit to the class. He is the second safety, following Shawn Chappell of Durham, N.C. He is the third from Gwinnett County, joining two from Grayson High, athlete Jamal Haynes and defensive end Noah Collins.
Following Edwards’ announcement, Tech’s class ranks 28th nationally and seventh in the ACC.
Besides safety, Edwards also played a variety of roles on the Falcons’ offense last season, lining up at slot receiver, running back and even quarterback. He was named offensive player of the year in Gwinnett County by the Gwinnett Daily Post. He also tied for third in the state high jump as a sophomore.
