Georgia Tech has landed a major recruitment win, securing the commitment of Jalan Wingfield, a four-star forward in the 2026 class. He becomes the second commitment in Tech’s 2026 class, joining fellow frontcourt addition Moustapha Diop.

Player Profile & Recruitment Story

• Wingfield is listed at 6′7″–6′8″, 220 lbs.

• He stars at Tri-Cities High School in East Point, Georgia.

• As a junior, he averaged 16 points, 9.3 rebounds, 2.2 blocks, along with steals and assists.

• In the 5A state title game, he turned in a dominant performance with 20 points, 19 rebounds, and 3 blocks to secure a championship for Tri-Cities.

• Wingfield chose Georgia Tech over Auburn, Cincinnati, Florida State, Vanderbilt, and others.

Scouting Take & Projection
Wingfield combines length, athleticism, and strength to project as a high-upside frontcourt piece. He’s effective around the rim, competes on the glass, and shows flashes as a two-way forward who can defend multiple positions. His ability to stretch the floor and make plays in transition gives him versatility at the next level.

Areas for continued growth include sharpening his shot consistency, maintaining defensive discipline, and finishing through contact. With his physical tools and competitive edge, the ceiling is high as he develops within a structured system.

Fit at Georgia Tech & Outlook
For coach Damon Stoudamire, Wingfield represents the type of in-state talent Georgia Tech needs to keep home. Pairing him with fellow 2026 big man Moustapha Diop provides the Yellow Jackets with a promising frontcourt foundation. With Wingfield’s skill set and work ethic, he has the potential to contribute early and grow into a key piece in the ACC.

Congratulations to Jalan Wingfield on his commitment — Elite Hoops Spotlight will follow his journey closely.
