Georgia Tech Commit Rasean Dinkins Receives Multiple Predictions From Recruiting Experts to Flip to Georgia
Rasean Dinkins has been committed to Georgia Tech since June, but their arch-rival seems to be well positioned to flip him into their class. Yesterday, the four-star safety received two predictions to flip to the Georgia Bulldogs from On3’s Steve Wiltfong and Chad Simmons.

According to 247Sports, Dinkins is a four-star prospect and ranked as the No. 219 prospect in the country, the No. 20 safety in the country, and the No. 32 player in the state of Georgia. He is the third-highest rated player in the Yellow Jackets 2025 class, behind five star offensive lineman Josh Petty and four-star cornerback Dalen Penson. Dinkins was offered by Georgia in September.
This would be a loss for the Yellow Jackets. Dinkins is a talented safety and losing a longtime commit to your rival always stings. Now, this has not officially happened yet and there is still time for Brent Key and his staff to keep Dinkins in the class, but it appears that Kirby Smart and the Bulldogs have the momentum right now.
Here is a scouting report on Dinkins courtesy of 247Sports Director of Scouting Andrew Ivins:
“A well-rounded safety prospect that has shown early on in his prep career that he can defend the pass and the run. Doesn’t have a ton of verified markers, but measured just over 5-10, 175 pounds summer before 11th grade year. Got snaps at multiple spots in the secondary as a sophomore and made plays, picking off eight passes for a team that played for a Georgia AAAAA title. Didn’t have the same ball production early on in junior campaign, but made much more of an impact around the line of scrimmage, making stops in and around the box. Appears to be rather fluid in the lower half, which allows him to turn and run with pass catchers of all different sizes down the field. Projects as more of a low safety that can do a variety of different things depending on what a defensive coordinator needs. Must keep progressing, but has some of the skills required to make a difference at the Power Five level. Should be able to carve out a role on special teams given his physical temperament.”

ATHENS, Ga. – Designated hitter Daniel Jackson and centerfielder Rylan Lujo combined for nine RBI Sunday, leading fifth-ranked Georgia to a 12-1 win over LSU at Foley Field.
Georgia improved to 41-11 overall, 21-6 in the SEC, while LSU dropped to 29-24 overall and 9-18 in conference play.
The Tigers return to action at 6:30 p.m. CT Thursday when they play host to Florida in Game 1 of a three-game SEC series in Alex Box Stadium, Skip Bertman Field. Thursday’s game will be broadcast on the LSU Sports Radio Network and streamed on SEC Network +.
“Georgia won the moments in this series,” said LSU coach Jay Johnson. “They’re going to score, so you’ve got to capitalize against them when you have scoring opportunities on offense.”
Georgia starting pitcher Caden Aoki (8-0) was the winner, limiting LSU to one run on four hits in 5.0 innings with two walks and seven strikeouts.
LSU right-hander Casan Evans (2-3), making his first appearance since April 17 versus Texas A&M, started the game Sunday and was charged with the loss, working 1.2 innings and allowing four runs on four hits with two walks and three strikeouts.
“I thought Casan’s stuff looked great, and that’s good for him from a health standpoint,” Johnson said. “He’s a guy that the more he pitches, the better he is, so there might have been a little bit of rust, but I thought he competed fine.”
Georgia struck for four runs in the bottom of the second inning in an outburst highlighted by Jackson’s two-out, two-run single and an RBI single by second baseman Ryan Black.
The Tigers narrowed the gap to 4-1 in the third when designated hitter Omar Serna Jr. delivered an RBI single.
Georgia extended its lead to 7-1 in the fourth as Jackson launched a two-run homer and centerfielder Lujo lined a run-scoring single.
Lujo unloaded a grand slam in the fifth, giving the Bulldogs an 11-1 advantage.
