A deep‑rooted revamp of Georgia Tech's secondary brings together seasoned veterans and promising newcomers, setting the stage for a defense built around forced turnovers.

The preseason Football Power Index has placed Georgia Tech at No. 48 nationally and No. 10 within the ACC, a placement that has raised eyebrows among analysts who expected a higher standing given the program’s recent surge.

Despite being projected for just 6.5 wins, Georgia Tech’s blend of a retooled offense, aggressive defense and veteran leadership under Brent Key could turn modest expectations into a surprise run at the ACC title and a College Football Playoff berth.

With key newcomers like Justice Haynes eyeing the NFL and veterans winding down, head coach hopes Alberto Mendoza's leadership will define the next era of Georgia Tech football.

Early projections highlight a group of playmakers expected to top the Yellow Jackets' statistical categories, while new coaching hires and an ambitious schedule set the stage for a transformative season.

Georgia Tech’s program under head coach Brent Key is experiencing a turnaround, highlighted by dominant performances, NFL drafts and a strong roster retention strategy.
