Premiere and Production
The documentary titled The Blueprint: Georgia Tech All-Access 2026 will debut on Tuesday, May 19, 2026, at 8 p.m. Eastern Time on the ACC Network. Produced by Harris Mendheim, a Georgia Tech football letterwinner and six‑time Emmy‑winning filmmaker, the film follows the Yellow Jackets through winter workouts, spring practice and the annual White and Gold Game in April, offering an intimate view of the program’s preparation for the upcoming season.
At the helm of the team, head coach Brent Key returns after guiding the Jackets to a historic 2025 campaign that produced a 9‑4 record and a No. 24 final national ranking. New offensive and defensive coordinators George Godsey and Jason Semore join the staff, bringing fresh schemes that complement the aggressive style that helped the team climb as high as No. 7 in the national polls and finish the season ranked in the final 14 polls.
The 2025 season also saw Georgia Tech dominate conference play, finishing 6‑2 in Atlantic Coast Conference competition and sharing second place in the 17‑team league. The program’s consistency is underscored by its top‑four finishes in each of the last three conference standings, a distinction held by no other ACC team.
The upcoming roster promises continuity and excitement. Five returning all‑ACC performers from the 2025 squad will again lead the charge, while 19 highly touted incoming transfers add depth. Among them, running back Justice Haynes and quarterback Alberto Mendoza headline a group that also includes safety Jaylen Mbakwe, wide receiver Jordan Walker, defensive back Malachi Carney and offensive lineman Ethan Mackenny, among others.
The film includes commentary from head coach Brent Key, coordinators George Godsey and Jason Semore, and former players turned analysts such as Chris Weinke, Kyle Pope, Jimmy Smith, Anthony Parker, Jordan Allen, Aidan Birr, Kyle Efford, Malachi Hosley, Justice Haynes, Alberto Mendoza, Jaylen Mbakwe, Jordan Walker, Malachi Carney and Ethan Mackenny, providing a broad perspective on the team’s trajectory.
Distribution through ESPN ensures that the story reaches a national audience via the ACC Network’s platform. With the premiere just days away, anticipation builds for a season that could once again redefine the Yellow Jackets’ place in college football.
