Football - Commit #4 - A new QB

Word from Rivals.com that Georgia Tech has picked up their 4th committment, this time from ATL area QB Byron Ingram. It's premium, but since I saw the news on a public open forum, I'm going to go ahead and mention it. Ingram is 6'5" 180lb, so a definite physical presence in the pocket. Word was he had another offer from Duke and was also looking at Tulane, Maryland and Mississippi State. Ingram is from Dekalb County Georgia and played at Towers but has transferred to Redan High School in Stone Mountain for his senior season. As a junior he passed for 1700 yards and 21 TD's and made the all-county team, while his team went 8-2 and went to the state playoffs.......... I think Byron's dream school was Auburn and was also interested in UGA, but neither seemed to return the love............ Rivals ranks Ingram as #71 in the Georgia top 75. Scout.com lists him as a "1-star", which basically means they have not evaluated him............ I'll have more later...........
