Georgia Tech needed some help at wide receiver in the portal and the Jackets landed one of the top ones in the country just a day after his official visit to the Flats. Former FIU standout Eric Rivers committed to Georgia Tech.

Rivers was one of the top receivers in the country in 2024, with 62 catches for 1,172 yards and 12 receiving touchdowns. His 1,172 yards were fifth in the nation in yards receiving. Rivals.com lists Rivers as a top 50 portal target and a four-star prospect.

About his commitment to Georgia Tech, Rivers said the potential for success for himself and the team was too good of an opportunity to pass up.

"There's a huge opportunity to shock the world!" Rivers told JOL late Wednesday night.

Rivers was unranked out of high school in the 2021 class according to Rivals, and he played his prep ball at McCallie School in Chattanooga, Tenn. He received multiple non-power 4 and FCS offers before eventually choosing Memphis where he spent two seasons (2021, 2022) and then transferring to FIU for the 2023 season.
