Early Enrollee Entrance Interview: Trenilyas Tatum

Prior to moving onto the Georgia Tech campus earlier this month, the early signees spent some time with the JOL staff. The signees participated in one last "recruitment" interview, in an effort to allow the Georgia Tech fanbase to get to know their future players a little bit better.

Up next is former four-star LB Trenilyas Tatum, an in-state signee who flipped late from South Carolina. Just days before flipping to Georgia Tech, many actually thought he would end up at Ole Miss.

He details the timetable of the decision to flip and more below.
