2025 Recruiting

Georgia Tech football has added to its recruiting staff.
Alex Mathis confirmed to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution that he will join the Yellow Jackets' staff. Mathis spent the past two seasons at Central Florida as the Knights' executive director of recruiting.
Rivals first reported the news and said that Mathis will fill an off-field role.
Mathis had been an assistant coach at Frederica Academy on Saint Simons Island and a teacher at Jane Macon Middle School before then. He also has coached at Brantley County High School in Nahunta and Glynn Academy in Brunswick before joining the UCF staff in December 2022.
A Ware County High School graduate, Mathis earned his undergraduate degree from the College of Coastal Georgia and a master’s degree from Georgia Southern.
The addition of Mathis fills a role vacated by Errin Joe, whom Rivals reported no longer is part of the program.

No specifics, but this is the rest of the AJC article

The addition of Mathis fills a role vacated by Errin Joe, whom Rivals reported no longer is part of the program.

Joe had been with Tech since 2023 after spending the 2022 season as assistant director of player personnel at Alabama.

From 2018-21, Joe was a member of Tech’s football staff, first as a graduate assistant working with the Yellow Jackets’ offensive line. He held that role for three seasons before moving into recruiting as Tech’s associate director of player personnel in 2021.

As a player at Tech, Joe started 16 games over his final two seasons from 2014-15. He started the final seven games of the 2014 campaign at right tackle, helping anchor an offensive front that led the nation in rushing with a program-record 342.1 yards per game.

The Yellow Jackets are wisely taking advantage of the deep pool of prospects in talent-rich Georgia. Versatile defensive back Dalen Penson is an excellent pickup. He contributed at wide receiver, quarterback and secondary in high school. He's also a good track-and-field athlete. Projecting to defense, Penson plays aggressively with good quickness and ball skills. Tae Harris is another key and versatile addition to their secondary. He could play corner or safety and posted some of the top numbers on this offseason's camp circuit, including a blazing laser-timed 4.38 40. Andre Fuller and Christian Garrett are strong in-state defensive line additions. Fuller is simply a good football player with active hands and has the tools to be a tough, productive player up front. Garrett, a one-time Georgia commit, has more ideal measurables as well as good explosiveness and active hands, and is a big in-state get.

Coach Brent Key has an offensive line background and landed some of the top OLs in the class. Josh Petty was a big recruiting win and is the highest-ranked commit for the Yellow Jackets in the ESPN 300 era. A top-10 OT prospect, he is a two-sport athlete who also wrestles and possesses good body quickness and bend.

Key upgraded, in his mind and many others from what is being said.
Errin was good and a great Tech man, but Mathis is supposed to be a superstar recruiter focusing on South Georgy.

Good. I wish Errin all the best but we have to get away from this “Tech man” mentality. That’s small minded af, no successful organization thinks like that
