Key recruit - and Waffle House - big for Tech on signing day

By The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

Feb 6, 2019

It’s been quite the morning for the Georgia Tech football program.

Signing day began with the Waffle House food truck on the school’s campus. In fact, it was parked inside Bobby Dodd Stadium.

And then the excitement went to another level after four-star recruit Jamious Griffin of Rome chose the Jackets over Auburn, Florida State and several others.

Here’s a look at what happened through social media:
