Prattville linebacker Jason Crenshaw Jr. commits to Georgia Tech

Prattville High linebacker Jason Crenshaw Jr. gave Georgia Tech another Alabama prize for its 2027 class, choosing the Yellow Jackets over North Carolina, Kentucky and Memphis after an official visit to Atlanta on June 9. The commitment puts a local name from Autauga County into Brent Key’s class-building effort and adds another marker for a Prattville program that has pushed more players onto the regional recruiting map.

Crenshaw is listed by recruiting services at 6-foot-2 and between 210 and 215 pounds, with 247Sports giving him a 0.8700 composite rating. That size and range are part of what made him attractive to Georgia Tech, which views him as a versatile linebacker addition. His recruit-interests page at 247Sports showed him as a hard commit to the Yellow Jackets on June 11.

The pledge arrived with more recruiting traffic still on the calendar. Crenshaw had official visits scheduled to Kentucky on June 12 and Memphis on June 19, but Georgia Tech moved first and won the race for his commitment. 247Sports also notes that Crenshaw played at Montgomery Carver as a junior in 2025 before being listed at Prattville, a detail that underscores how his stock has risen across multiple Alabama stops.

For Prattville, the commitment is another sign that the program is building credibility far beyond Autauga County lines. Georgia Tech’s 2027 class now includes three Alabama commits after Crenshaw’s decision, a notable haul for a school working to deepen its footprint in the state. For younger players watching from Prattville High and beyond, Crenshaw’s path shows that a linebacker from the county can draw power-conference attention, take major official visits and still end up as a priority target in Atlanta. As he heads toward his senior season, the attention on Crenshaw now shifts from recruitment to production, with Georgia Tech already secured and his place in the Yellow Jackets’ Alabama pipeline established.
