Georgia Tech coach Geoff Collins received a signing-day surprise in the form of four-star quarterback Jeff Sims.

After withdrawing his commitment to Florida State last week, Sims announced his decision Wednesday morning, choosing Tech over Maryland and Florida State. Sims, from Sandalwood High in Jacksonville, Fla., made the announcement at his school’s signing-day ceremonies.
