Georgia Tech added another piece to shore up its secondary on Thursday as the news came down that nickel Jyron Gilmore had committed to the Jackets after playing this past season at Georgia State.

Gilmore played in all 12 games in 2024 for Georgia State and finished with 53 tackles and two interceptions. He started his college career at Tennessee Tech and had 115 total tackles, 18 pass breakups and three interceptions during his time there from 2020-2023, including a 2023 season in which he had 44 tackles, six pass breakups and two interceptions in 11 games.

Gilmore was unranked by Rivals as a running back in the 2020 class out of North Marion High in Citra, Florida before making the switch to defensive back on the college level when he started his career at Tennessee Tech. He has one year of eligibility remaining once he joins the Georgia Tech program.
