  The centerpiece for the new-look Georgia Tech offensive line is Jordan Williams. The highly recruited freshman from Gainesville is 6-foot-6 and weighs 330 pounds. As offensive coordinator Dave Patenaude said, "He's a really large dude." Williams will start at right tackle on Saturday when the Yellow Jackets open the season on Saturday at Florida State. There will be the usual growing pains, but the big-bodied, long-limbed offensive lineman is the template the Yellow Jackets hope to duplicate at the position in the future. Expectations for Williams are high. He was the only offensive lineman from the ACC included on the 247 Sports' Preseason All-America Freshman Team. He is far from a finished product, but his size gives him a huge advantage.

"For a big guy he can really move his feet," Patenaude said. "(Florida State) is going to be a good test. I don't think he's going to be overmatched physically. But over the course of the game, can he sustain and be ready to play 75 plays? He's been really good in camp. Coach (Brent) Key has done a great job with him." Williams' progress has also been helped by the presence of Ryan Johnson, a grad transfer from Tennessee who will start at right guard. Johnson (6-6, 310) played in 36 games and made 19 starts at Tennessee. "Ryan will help him through the game," Patenaude said. "He really understands football and is a great communicator." - Savannah Morning News
