The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets are actively engaged in recruiting season and have achieved significant success, rising into the top 20 nationally for the 2025 class.
A major focus for the coaching staff will be the wide receiver position, as they need to replace three players who will graduate at the end of this season. Currently, they have three wide receivers committed in this recruiting cycle. One key target they must retain is three-star Sam Turner from Southwest Dekalb. According to the 247Sports Composite rankings, he is positioned as the No. 461 player overall, the No. 72 wide receiver, and the No. 53 player in Georgia.
Sam Turner, a promising three-star wide receiver from Southwest DeKalb High School in Georgia, recently provided an update on his commitment to Georgia Tech as he prepares for an official visit to Auburn. Committed to the Yellow Jackets since June, Turner’s recruitment is heating up, particularly with the upcoming visit to Auburn scheduled for the weekend of September 27-29.
Turner expressed that his commitment to Georgia Tech remains strong, despite the interest from Auburn. He acknowledged the appeal of Auburn’s program, particularly highlighting the faith-based approach of their coaching staff, especially under wide receivers coach Marcus Davis. Turner noted that this emphasis on faith resonates deeply with him and his family, making Auburn a compelling option.
He mentioned that Coach Hugh Freeze has a track record of developing successful receivers, which adds to the allure of potentially flipping his commitment. In recent weeks, analysts have speculated about Auburn’s chances of securing Turner’s commitment. Reports indicate that Auburn has an estimated 87.5% chance of flipping him according to On3’s Recruiting Prediction Machine.
This speculation follows a prediction made last month by Cole Pinkston from Auburn Live, who suggested that Turner could be a significant addition to their 2025 recruiting class. Despite the attention from Auburn, Turner reassured fans and Georgia Tech supporters that he plans to remain committed to the Yellow Jackets for now. He has also indicated intentions to return to Georgia Tech multiple times throughout the season, reinforcing his connection with the program.
As a player, Turner is recognized not only for his skills on the field but also for his thoughtful approach to recruitment. He is currently ranked as one of the top wide receivers in Georgia and is expected to be a valuable asset for whichever program he ultimately chooses. As his recruitment unfolds, all eyes will be on Turner during his visit to Auburn and how it might influence his future decisions.
