Grayson DT becomes Tech’s ninth commitment
UPDATED WITH QUOTES AND NEW INFO . . .
Grayson defensive tackle Shawn Green became the ninth commitment of Georgia Tech’s 2010 class when he gave the Yellow Jackets his pledge early Wednesday morning.
Green, a 6-foot-1, 280-pound rising senior, had at least 17 scholarship offers, including opportunities at Auburn, BYU, Florida State, Louisville, Maryland, Ole Miss and South Carolina. But he’ll get the opportunity to compete for playing time early on The Flats. The Jackets lost three starters off their defensive line off last year’s 9-4 team.
“[Tech] has been recruiting me since the spring and they’ve been recruiting me pretty hard,” said Green, who had 69 tackles — including 22 for losses — and seven sacks as a junior last season. “I didn’t feel like I got the same treatment from other schools. I went to Florida State and I didn’t feel the same love. I just liked the way they made me feel and I liked all the coaches so I decided to just go ahead and make it official.”
Green didn’t hold a grandiose ceremony or send out any sort of media blitz for his announcement Wednesday. In fact, he was difficult to get on the telephone. That’s because after calling Tech coaches with the news, he went out on the practice field for a morning workout with his Grayson teammates.
His recruitment, he pronounced, is now over.
“This is where I want to go,” Green said. “Now I’m going to concentrate on my senior year and trying to win a state championship.”
Tech’s 2010 class is filling up class. it currently only has 12 spots open for next season though that number could grow to 15 or 16 between now and next fall.

Shawn is a quality young man from a quality family and GA Tech is, indeed fortunate to have him joining Denzel McCoy on the Defensive Line in the near future. They will make quite an imposing pair to continue GA Tech’s effort to back fill/restock for the players recently lost to the NFL Draft.
Once again, Paul Johnson and his Staff have done another great job of recruiting a top-notch scholar athlete from In-State.
Shawn, I know your family is proud of Football Career while at GA Tech, but remember, your degree will be with you a lifetime. Continue with your studies and there will be nothing stopping your continued drive towards your ultimate goals in life.
Welcome to the Family!

Those were some pretty impressive offers you got there Scooter! The likes of Auburn and S.C.!!! Those are like….the SEC juggernauts!!!

We all are baffled and make fun of the tech fans who CONSTANTLY troll the UGA blogs talkin Sh!t and just look like immature idiots so why do the same thing on this Tech article? Youre just as bad as RAMBLE ON, m, Yellow Fuzz, Saint Simons. Congrats to Green and good luck! and good luck this year Tech (except in NOV of course!) GO DAWGS!

I just do not understand people who derive some sort of pleasure out of bashing a young man on an anonymous blog.
Congrats to the kid. Looks like a very respectable list of offers, and I believe Green is widely considered as a Top 25 player out of the state of Georgia.
Any of my fellow UGA fans who think it is insignificant that Paul Johnson is bringing in nothing but in state kids needs to reevaluate that sentiment….it is huge for them and their program.
I look forward to Clean Old-Fashioned Hate for many years to come, or at least as long as Johnson is on the sidelines on The Flats.

To UGAFAN; You are the only Dawg fan who actually has it right! ALL of theses recruits (both UGA and Tech) deserve to be recognized for their hard work in earning an athletic scholarship to their respective schools of choice. Unfortunately, the crass comments and sniping will never end due to the tasteless remarks being perpetuated by a few morons who hit the send button.
Personally, I hope both Tech and UGA are undefeated each year when they meet after Thanksgiving, making the game even more competitive for both schools and the State of Georgia. I am glad to see both coaches are able to recruit top talent for their schools, and more importantly, keeping as many local kids home for their college careers. While UGA has always been able to recruit great athletes, it is nice to see that Paul Johnson is doing the same at Tech. Lets try to clean up the trash talk on the AJC sites and leave the recruits alone and show some kudos for the success in achieving a full scholarship to a major NCAA Institution. The bashing belongs on the gridiron!

CPJ has finally started doing what no other Tech coach would: recruit in state kids. Tech isn’t going to grab many of GA’s “four start” or “five star” guys but Tech doesn’t usually get those guys anyway. Why leave your home state to get a “two star” guy when there are dozens of kids instate that are just as good? Signing instate kids helps recruiting here in GA later on down the line and helps to build support for your program in those communities throughout the state. It just makes more sense to keep it at home.
I’ve heard good things about this kid, although I think Tech needed him in school this year, not next. Congratulations Mr. Green, and good luck.

True to form, mutts, way to put the a-s-s in “class” – the good news is Mr. Green plays on the defensive side of the ball, so you won’t have to worry about him contributing to the 400+ rush yards against Georgia’s pitiful defense every November.

They are probably the same ones who complain about the tech fans on UGA blogs. I am personally glad Tech beat us last year cause i would enjoy a better in state rivalry that what its been. Remember if you recruit all players from the stated it will also bring in more revenue with ticket sale with friends, family and teammates coming to watch them play. congrats. and we’ll see ya on the flats

Now be honest, how many times did you touch yourself while looking at the Stafford/Cox photo, Mary?
Hell, the Zooker beat thUGA two of three games while at Florida, so spare the “national titles” talk – you guys lost to them when they were average by their standards. Good job.

Ryan, you were just hurling classless insults yourself. Doing it retaliation is no less classless so spare us the “high road” story.
This back and forth crap is really old, most bloggers would agree. But since you mentioned it, yes, 3-16 is being totally dominated by a team. Back up about a decade and we were 2-7, remarkably similar to your recent record against UGA. The difference is UGA fans realize how much of a challenge it is to rise to superiority like UF has and that it is no fluke getting there year after year. So after our win against UF in 07, there was never a delusion on behalf of UGA fans that the tables had turned permanently, very unlike the sentiment you and other Tech fans have suggested has happened in this state.
I think that is the source of the childishness on these blogs. Win 2 in a row by a larger margin than 3 points and then start claiming there’s about to be a momentum swing. Until then, try to be a gracious winner. Looking forward to post turkey day Saturday more than you know….

JDB: The difference is I don’t go out of my way to the Georgia blog and make fun of the student-athlete. Yes, my comments were in retaliation – directed towards those low-life types who have nothing better to do than troll Tech’s blog and rip its players and programs. I don’t condone the GT fans who do the same thing on Georgia’s blog, but I’m sure as hell not going to sit idly by without giving it right back on my school’s blog. I’m not trying to be “high road” as you say, just expose your trashy fans – some, not all – for being the pathetic people they are.
And believe me, I talked to PLENTY Georgia fans who were barking up a storm after beating UF in ‘07 so you can SPARE ME the “we are not delusional” talk. That, in and of itself is just funny. Year in and year out, Georgia fans are some of the more delusional fans you will encounter.
I, myself, am not under any delusions that GT is going to go on a seven-year run of its own vs. Georgia right now, but I can promise you that you can expect a more competitive series with Paul Johnson running the show. It’s going to be a fight each and every November. Looking forward to it. Go Jackets!

CPJ is a great guy as well as a coach and it nice to see him take his unorthodox triple option and have the success that he is having with it at the Division I level, although LSU did take them behind the woodshed. Here’s to another great year of college football in the great State of Georgia.

But you – as well as I – know the Gailey/Nix/Ball years are long gone. I hope you enjoyed the snafus of ‘02 and ‘04 because they are long in the rearview mirror. It’s a new day and new team at GT.
But since we’re asking questions, I’ve got one for you: Does Georgia require their DB recruits to tackle now, or do they just have to have mastered the Remarcus Brown shoulder bump? That’s how a 5-star guy does it right there. I sure hope you guys are bringing in more 5-stars like that.

Tech also got a committement from a former 4 star rated wide receiver Chris Jackson a transfer from Alabama. He is a solid player and played for us on special teams this year as a freshman but he was buried on the depth chart at the wr position so he decided to transfer and Tech was his choice.
The guy has got talent and CPJ told him he would probably play A back at Tech which would be a good fit for him. Good luck to Chris. Things didn’t work out at Bama for him but I hope and expect that he will have a great career at Tech.

Lot of wrong facts about Green. Green was 6ft 275 is what he was as a Junior during pre season. Guess what, he is taller and with more muscle and lost baby fat. He has not had any surgeries that I am aware of. He is a rock in the middle that demands double team, an he is quick. He also has the GPA to make something of himself besides football. So how many of you taking shots at a 17 year old received a full ride playing a sport? I am not a fan of either college, but I know a win is a win. Congrats GT, you got a special athlete and high character kid whith a supporting family and community in Grayson that is proud of him.

As someone who loves college football but went to a small college and have no real alligence to a D-1 program – I would like to thank all of you that make the ridicuolus posts which remind me that I’m better off not being one of you.
Ever notice players don’t trash talk like “fans” do? I always wonder if being a watcher instead of a doer instantly makes you say stupid things regarding something you have NO first hand knowledge of (as in banging heads or evaluating on field talent).
UGA posters seem to be a little more idiotic on their posts, and quite possibly that’s due to their tremendous success over the years, but if that’s the type of education they send graduates out with (though I REALLY wonder if the “woof woof woof” posters ever graduated), then I’ve lost a lot of respect for their ability to prepare students for the real world.
Life is about more than football games folks, get a life and let ALL recruits enjoy their decision – THEY earned a scholorship, how did you pay for school (assuming you went)?

Just a simple question….does the AJC even bother with spell check anymore? There were so many errors that it had to have been written by a UGA grad.

Top 75 Signing Class: “I think we are going to make it this year!”

Wow I’m glad I’m not a Tech fan…Florida, UGA, Texas, Ohio State, etc. ALWAYS have top 5 recruiting classes.

UGA OWNS TECH. Its way too one sided to be considered a rivalry. Tech fans are the biggest joke out there. Especially the Ryan’s of the blogs. You looking forward to 2017? The next time you can compete with the big dawgs. Face it Tech plays pee wee football.

Hasn’t UGA beaten Tech 7 of the last 8? UGA clearly owns the state of Georgia in recruiting, wins, and class. Tech fans are running wild with one victory over the mighty Dawgs. Calm down nerds.

Our record was not 9-4 last year. It was 12-1. Shawn is a wonderful kid and would be an asset to any team lucky enough to have him.
