As most of my readers know I do not venture outside of the Southeast very often for players. When I do I feel as though I have a purpose behind it. The one reason I am today is because I really agree with one of Georgia Tech's newest recruits.
Much like the other hometown team GT will be changing to the 3-4 defense. Because of the change recruiting changes slightly. The type of players that fit in a traditional 4-3 do not fit exactly in a 3-4. Well in order to improve GT went out an got a heck of an athlete out of Washington D.C. in Jeremiah Attaochu. Now Jeremiah is not as highly recruited as other recent signees, but the talent and potential for this young man is immense.
Jeremiah stands at 6'3 225lbs. I see this monster of an athlete playing an outside linebacker position with the ability to rush the passer off the edge. If he continues to add weight he could possibly move to the middle, but I see him possibly making plays like Texas standout Sergio Kindle. Jeremiah has been playing defensive end in high school, but when you watch him run in the open field on special teams and chasing ball carriers it is clear that he has the ability to play with his hand off the ground. His lateral speed is extremely good, and with the teaching of an experienced coach like Al Groh (head coach in college and NFL coach as well) the sky is the limit. Of course he will need to adjust to playing upright more often as well as continuing to add bulk and speed. I think a redshirt year would be good unless the scheme dictates which players will be needed.
