Summary
Georgia Tech’s Aidan Birr is heating up preseason hype—third-team All-America, first-team All-ACC, Lou Groza Award finalist, and the guy who set a school record with 29 field goals. Six Jackets earned All-ACC nods, including linemen paving the way for 200 yards per game and zero sacks, and linebacker E.J. Lightsey back with 77 tackles. Big transfers like Justice Haynes and Gavin Harris are expected to ignite the offense. After a nine-win, top-25 season last year, the Jackets kick off 2026 at home against Colorado on ESPN, with a loaded slate including Tennessee, Duke, Louisville, and Wake Forest. Season tickets are the only way to catch them all. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
