Here is a look at how the Georgia Tech Class of 2025 commits did in their most recent games over the last few days.


Once again, stats are sometimes hard to come by with some high school teams and coaches, but I’ll do my best.

Cullins was buzzing after Friday’s game because he scored the first defensive touchdown of his high school career thanks to a 70-yard interception return to the end zone off a tipped pass. He also two solo tackles, one assisted tackle, a half a sack and three quarterback pressures. The Warriors will next visit Etowah on Friday for another region matchup
