With National Signing Day all said and done, it’s time to see where Georgia Tech football’s 2017 recruiting class ranks among the rest of the ACC. 

With the 2017 recruiting cycle all wrapped up after yesterday’s national signing day, it’s time to take some time and look back on the cycle. Georgia Tech’s 2017 class was compromised of 24 commitments including two-four star commitments, but where did the Yellow Jacket’s recruiting class rank in terms of the ACC?

Before getting started, here’s how the rankings were calculated.

How Rankings Were Calculated:

The following is the simple process Yellow Jacked Up used to figure out the rankings.

After finding out each program’s respective ACC and national rankings for each of the four major recruiting services, the highest rank for each of the respective team was deleted. For all but three teams, this took away ESPN’s respective ranking for each program. The remaining three rankings were then added up and divided by three for each program. Each number was then rounded to the nearest whole number.

To test the rankings that were assembled, they were compared to that of 247Sports’s composite rankings and were very similar.

Now without further adieu, the 2017 ACC Recruiting Class Final Rankings.
