I think it's more than appropriate to discuss a potential recruiting flip candidate on the heels of Georgia football and Georgia Tech's announcement of next season's Clean, Old-Fashioned Hate game moving to a neutral site.
Georgia already has one of the top recruiting classes in the country, currently sitting at No. 5. And while they wait for a few key announcements that are on the horizon, Kirby Smart and his staff have their eyes set on an offensive tackle currently committed to in-state rival Georgia Tech.
Georgia Tech 4-star OT commit Damola Ajidahun is still eyeing other options as teams continue to push for a flip👀

Damola Ajidahun is a massive offensive tackle from Duluth, GA who the Bulldogs have their eyes on. Ajidahun is a four-star prospect and the No. 232 player in the country according to the 247Sports composite rankings. He also is the No. 25 offensive tackle and No. 35 player from the state of Georgia.
Ajidahun has been commited to Georgia Tech since Aug. 3, but Smart and his staff are hoping to change that.
Unfortunately for Georgia, it appears many other programs are after Ajidahun as well. According to Chad Simmons of On3, Florida, South Carolina and Ohio State are also after the talented tackle as well. And it sounds like Ajidahun is listening to his many suitors.
Yes Georgia Tech is still in the running for Ajidahun as well, but it is very telling any time a national recruiting expert states that a recruit is listening to other schools. When this occurs, I start treating the recruitment like there is no commitment at all. So even though he technically is still committed to the Yellow Jackets, I view him more as an un-committed target.
Georgia hosted Ajidahun on an official visit this past June, but they likely will need to get him back in Athens for another visit if they want to complete this flip. Ajidahun is actively making other visits as he has been to Ohio State and South Carolina recently, so there is a chance he ends up on campus again for a future game.
This would be a fun recruitment to end up winning. The main reason being that he is an extremely talented recruit, but stealing him from rival Georgia Tech would be icing on the cake.
