Freshmen:

Georgia Tech signed four receivers in the 2019 recruiting class but only one is on campus for spring practices. The rest of the freshmen wide outs consist of 2018 recruits, who all redshirted last season.

Peje Harris (RS):

At 6-foot-3 and 215-pounds, Harris one of the Jackets bigger bodied wide receivers which will firmly plant him on the outside and as a potential redzone target. Harris coming out of high school had great hands and his speed wasn’t too shabby either. He’s not flashy but he can get the job done when his number is called.

Adonicas Sanders (RS):

Sanders is an exciting prospect who was having a great fall camp last season before breaking his collarbone. While the injury knocked him out for his true freshman season, it will still be interesting to see his development this offseason.

Jaylon Jackson (RS):

Jackson arrived on The Flats as an “Athlete” but has found his home at wide receiver after being considered an A-Back last season. At 6-foot-0, and 195-pounds, Jackson looks destined to be a slot receiver where his speed will be taken advantage of greatly.

Marquez Ezzard (RS):

The University of Miami transfer will have to sit out a season after transferring but could become an exciting player for the Yellow Jacket down the road.

Ahmarean Brown:

The lone true freshman currently on campus will have a chance to make an immediate impact on the coaching staff and should be in line for playing time this fall. Brown has tremendous speed and great hands. He’ll most likely fall into a slot receiver role where he should be able to excel despite being on the smaller side at just 5-foot-9 and 165-pounds. He should be a fun player to watch the next few years.
