Georgia Tech continued a flurry of recruiting activity with its third commitment of the day. Jordan Huff, a three-star cornerback from Morgan County High, gave Tech his commitment to join the 2019 signing class on Wednesday, according to a Rivals report.

Huff was committed to Michigan State from late December 2017 to early July. Listed at 6-foot-2 and 185 pounds, Huff is rated the No. 54 prospect in the state of Georgia and the No. 487 prospect in the country (247 Sports composite). In both categories, Huff becomes Tech’s highest-rated prospect.

Tech's class of committed prospects now stands at 14. Cornerback Wesley Walker of Nashville, Tenn., and two-way lineman Jamal Camp of South Forsyth High (the younger brother of Tech wide receiver Jalen Camp) committed earlier Wednesday.

“It became pretty clear over time that Georgia Tech was right,” Huff told Rivals. “It really just came to me. I knew (Wednesday) what was going on, so I talked to my parents about it, and I am shutting it down.”
