2024 Recap
Brent Key has now gone 7-6 in both of his full seasons as Georgia Tech’s head coach. It's the first time the Yellow Jackets have had back-to-back winning campaigns in a decade.
Georgia Tech’s offense was the biggest reason for the program’s success last year, finishing as one of the 25 most efficient units in the nation last year by EPA per play. The defense lagged behind, particularly against opposing passing attacks. The 2025 version of the Yellow Jackets has the same strengths and weaknesses, which means the program could experience similar results in the win/loss column.
Biggest Strength: A ton of talent on offense
Georgia Tech’s offense should remain a strong unit in 2025, even after losing a top-five wide receiver in Eric Singleton Jr. Haynes King is a top-five quarterback in the ACC, Jamal Haynes is a top-10 running back in the country and the Yellow Jackets still have a great receiving corps thanks to the addition of Eric Rivers and the return of Malik Rutherford. The only question mark on that side of the ball is along the offensive line, which lost three starters from an already average unit.
Biggest Weakness: Pass defense
Georgia Tech’s pass defense struggled last year, placing 116th in PFF pass-rush grade and 106th in PFF coverage grade. The Yellow Jackets also lost three of their four pressure leaders from 2024 and their best defensive back, cornerback Warren Burrell.
