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

The four-star sophomore from Bradenton, Fla. joins safety Charlie Thomas, lineman Harrison Jump and wide receiver PJ Harris who announced their verbal commitments to Tech's 2018 signing class in early June.

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.
