The 2017 recruiting class was the best for Georgia Tech under Paul Johnson and also featured one of the best commitments of the Johnson era as well.

The top-50 recruiting class was headlined by Bruce Jordan-Swilling, a four-star linebacker out of Louisiana and the son of GT legend Pat Swilling. The Yellow Jackets landed two other top-500 prospects in the class in linebacker Jaquan Henderson and cornerback Tre Swilling, the brother of Bruce.

Paul Johnson and staff were able to finish strong over the last month of the cycle propelling Georgia Tech from a ranking in the high-50s to a top-50 class overall.

Currently, Georgia Tech has no 2018 commitments.
