Georgia Tech landed its fourth commit on Wednesday afternoon in IMG Academy defensive tackle T.K. Chimedza.

Chimedza, 6-foot-1, 296 pounds, is the highest ranked commit of the Yellow Jackets’ 2018 recruiting class so far.

Chimedza, who had offers from 12 total schools including Duke, Florida State, Georgia and Tennessee, announced his commitment on Twitter on Wednesday afternoon.
