Georgia Tech’s commitment frenzy continued Sunday, as coach Geoff Collins received his sixth commitment for the 2023 class in eight days. Defensive lineman Elijah Douglas of Pensacola, Fla., announced himself “110% committed” on his Twitter account.

Douglas, 6-foot-4 and 280 pounds, became the third prospect who made his official visit to Tech this weekend to accept a spot in Tech’s 2023 signing class, joining edge rusher Zachariah Keith (Douglas County High) and running back Trey Cornist (Winton Woods High in Cincinnati). It would not be a surprise if more commitments followed in coming days.

Douglas, from Pine Forest High in Pensacola, was rated a three-star prospect by Rivals. He had Tech in a “top eight” list that he posted June 5, which also included Florida A&M, Georgia State, Liberty, Louisiana, Memphis, Southern Miss and Western Kentucky.
