Another big piece of Georgia Tech’s 2026 recruiting class and another sizeable addition to the offensive line materialized on Sunday as 3-star interior offensive tackle Bear Fretwell committed to the Jackets.

Fretwell made his decision official via Instagram live as the 6-foot-7, 290-pound OL standout from Southeast Bulloch High (Ga.) committed to Georgia Tech coming off an impressive official visit to The Flats this weekend. He chose the Jackets over double-digit other offers, including Power-4 schools Northwestern and Cincinnati as well as late interest from Alabama.

Fretwell is the 10th overall commitment for Tech’s 2026 class and the sixth on the offensive side of the ball. He continues the momentum for head coach Brent Key and offensive line coach Geep Wade up front in the trenches after they were able to secure commitments from offensive tackles and twin brothers Courtney Heard and Courtlin Heard last Sunday after that pair officially visited Tech.
