In a 24-hour stretch that shows Brent Key's staff is executing with precision, the Yellow Jackets secured commitments from two 2026 wide receivers: Kentrell Davis out of Birmingham, Alabama, and Isaac Obrokta from Rabun Gap, Georgia. With both prospects pledging their futures to the Flats, Georgia Tech now holds 14 total commitments in the 2026 class, and four of them are wideouts.
This is more than just a numbers game. It's a statement.
Kentrell Davis: Speed and Swagger from the Heart of Alabama
Hailing from Parker High School, Kentrell Davis brings both SEC-caliber attention and raw athleticism to Tech's recruiting board. The 6-foot, 175-pound wideout is ranked No. 975 nationally and No. 36 in Alabama by the 247Sports Composite. He recently wrapped up official visits to Georgia Tech and Vanderbilt but ultimately chose the Yellow Jackets over offers from Kentucky, Mississippi State, Wake Forest, and Missouri.

Davis is known for his breakaway speed and crisp route-running. He's a weapon in open space, a modern slot receiver with big-play potential, and he fits Georgia Tech's evolving offensive identity.
With a senior season ahead and a spotlight growing brighter, Davis could be a major riser in the rankings.
Isaac Obrokta: Underrated Georgia Talent with SEC Attention
Just one day prior, Georgia Tech added another key piece in Isaac Obrokta, a 6-foot, 176-pound wide receiver from Rabun-Gap-Nacoochee School. Though ranked No. 1,477 nationally and No. 145 in Georgia, Obrokta's recruitment speaks louder than his star rating.

With offers from Florida State, UCF, Liberty, and Ole Miss, he's flown under the radar but not unnoticed. His game is built on consistency, with strong hands, crisp releases, and high football IQ. Coaches view him as a steady contributor who could thrive in the slot or as a possession receiver.
Obrokta visited Tech on May 30 and later toured Florida State, but made his commitment soon after, signaling trust in the Jackets' vision.
The Bigger Picture: Building a Receiving Corps with Depth and Versatility
With Davis and Obrokta joining previously committed wideouts Darnell Collins and Jeremy Winston, Georgia Tech is putting an emphasis on versatility, speed, and depth at the position. After years of offensive inconsistency, Brent Key is clearly prioritizing long-term stability and dynamic playmakers for the future.

The Yellow Jackets' 2026 class now ranks in the top 40 nationally, and the staff's recruiting momentum, especially in the Southeast is drawing attention across the ACC.

Georgia Tech fans, take note: These are the kind of moves that can quietly shape a future contender. Watch these names, and this class closely.
