Josh Petty, a four-star prospect according to the 247Sports Composite, signed his scholarship papers to play football for Georgia Tech in 2025, his father, James Petty, confirmed to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution on Thursday night. Tech announced the signing as well.
A senior at Fellowship Christian School in Roswell, Petty is Tech’s final signee of the early signing period and gives Tech 23 signees toward the 2025 recruiting class. The class is ranked 18th nationally and second among ACC programs.
“The bigger piece for me was the consistency,” Petty told GBP Sports on Wednesday about his reasoning for committing to Tech. “A lot of teams are very weird about recruiting and they’ll go off and on and they’ll have moments where they’re on you hard and then they’re off. But I just knew Tech wanted me hard and they’ve been recruiting me consistently, showing me the same things and their actions have spoke with their words this year and it’s kind of great to see that program come together and get a good season like this year.”
Petty did not sign Wednesday, the first day high school seniors could sign to play college football. James Petty told the AJC earlier Thursday that Petty and Tech were, “still working through contractual language.”
A 6-foot-5 tackle who told GBP Sports he now weighs 265 pounds, Petty is considered a top-10 prospect in Georgia and top-10 offensive tackle nationally. He reportedly was offered a scholarship by more than 40 schools and plans to enroll at Tech in January.
