4-star safety Trajen Greco sets commitment date, names top schools

Hoschton (Ga.) Mill Creek four-star safety Trajen Greco is ready to make his commitment.

The 6-foot-2, 180-pounder will announce his decision on January 6 and will choose between Missouri, Georgia Tech and USC.

Greco was previously committed to the Yellow Jackets, but decided to reopen his recruitment last month after visiting the Tigers.

“It’s all positive. I’m thankful for the opportunity I got with Georgia Tech,” he told On3. “It’s nothing personal, really, I feel like I rushed my decision in June and I didn’t give myself the chance to explore enough opportunities and stuff. So I want to be able to get out of my comfort zone, view some other places and just face the challenge, really, to be honest.”

The program in Atlanta still remains in the mix, but the Tigers and Trojans have come on strong in recent weeks. USC extended him an offer earlier this month, and Lincoln Riley’s program is pushing to get him on campus for a visit before his decision date.

Missouri, the program trending right now in the On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine (RPM), came through with an offer on Oct. 31. The communication took off from there, and Eli Drinkwitz’s program is looking to host him again before the Early Signing Period on December 20.

On3 rates Greco higher than every other major recruiting service. He is the No. 126 overall prospect in the 2024 On300, the No. 9 safety and No. 15 recruit from Georgia.

Trajen Greco Scouting Summary

“Hyper instinctual playmaker whose ball skills and cover ability project well as a defensive back. Has unverified size. Looks to be closer to 6-foot-1 than the listed 6-foot-2, 180 pounds. A multi-sport and two-way star at one of the top football programs in Georgia. Lines up at defensive back, receiver and as a return man on Friday nights. A pure football player who excels in many facets. Highly competitive. Has high level ball skills, particularly for a defensive back prospect. Flashed the ball skills while playing more receiver as a senior – caught 41 passes for 549 yards and 10 touchdowns in his final prep campaign. Naturally coordinated and locates and tracks the ball with ease. A loose, fluid mover. Shows innate instincts in coverage, both as a safety and corner. Sees plays quickly.

… Recognizes route concepts. Played more safety as a senior. Has pure cover skills as a safety prospect, given his experience playing on an island. Ball production registered as elite as a junior, breaking up 17 passes and coming down with five interceptions. A key contributor on a state title team in his junior season in Georgia’s highest classification. Doubles as a star basketball player, as he was region player of the year as a junior.
