Yellow Jackets win recruiting war for pass rusher Jeremiah Attaochu

Three-star 6-foot-3, 225-pound outside linebacker Jeremiah Attaochu of Archbishop Carroll (Washington, D.C.) has committed to Georgia Tech for the Class of 2010.

He chose the Yellow Jackets over Maryland, Illinois, Kansas State, Louisville, Virginia and Syracuse.

"I got to know him while Coach Groh he was at Virginia," Attaochu told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. "He's known for his defense and coaching outside linebackers all over the league. I was a defensive end in high school but he felt like I was the right guy to be an outside linebacker. He has three things in his criteria for an outside linebacker: It's being able to beat a tight end, being able to rush the passer and being functional in space. That's how he puts it."

Several other programs including Minnesota, Ohio, Boston College, Temple, East Carolina, Akron and Kent State have also offered.
