2022 ALL-ACC FOOTBALL SECOND TEAM: LB - Ayinde Eley, Georgia Tech, 70 votes,...Eley amassed a whopping 118 tackles to lead Georgia Tech and rank third in the league. In a historic season, Eley became the first Division I FBS player since 2016 with 118 total tackles, 9.5 tackles for loss, 3.5 sacks, four forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries in 12 games. Co-leading the nation, Eley is also one of just two Yellow Jackets since at least 2000 to force four fumbles in a single season (Eric Henderson, 2015). He also ranked fifth in the ACC in fumbles recovered and 20th in tackles for loss. - Georgia Tech Football

12/02/22 - Haynes King, rSr/2026, Georgia Tech, 6-3, 215 (DS#6 QB) + More +

Texas A&M quarterback Haynes King entered the transfer portal as a graduate transfer Friday, with freshman cornerback Denver Harris also announcing on Twitter that he will enter the portal. King threw for 1,220 yards, 7 touchdowns and 6 interceptions in six games this season for the Aggies. He was the No. 46 prospect in the 2020 class out of Longview, Texas, and signed with the Aggies with plenty of fanfare surrounding his college potential. He redshirted his first season in 2020 and started the first two games in 2021 before suffering a season-ending injury. King once again started the opener in 2022 but had a roller-coaster season that included another injury. - ESPN.com

12/02/22 - Ayinde Eley, rSr/2023, Georgia Tech, 6-3, 230 (DS#46 ILB) + More +

Georgia Tech linebacker Ayinde Eley was one of seven Yellow Jackets players to be recognized by the ACC on its all-conference team, with Eley earning second-team honors and safety LaMiles Brooks, linebacker Charlie Thomas and defensive end Keion White named to the third team. Wide receiver Nate McCollum, running back Hassan Hall and cornerback Zamari Walton all earned honorable mention. It is the second year in a row that seven team members were recognized. It's the first time since 2017 that three players were named to the first, second or third teams. A team leader, Eley finished second in the ACC with 118 tackles, including 9.5 for loss. His tackle total is also tied for 10th in FBS. His four forced fumbles are tied for most in FBS and are as many or more than seven FBS teams, according to cfbstats.

His play is a product of the instincts developed as a sixth-year senior and by giving exceptional effort in practice. In his first year as a starter, Brooks tied for third in the ACC in interceptions with three and tied for 10th in the conference in passes defended. Brooks, a solid open-field tackler and a student of the game, had 52 tackles - fourth most on the team. Perhaps the Jackets' most versatile player, Thomas put together a season stat line reflecting his range of ability and knack for being around the ball - 112 tackles, 10.5 for loss, two sacks, two interceptions, two fumble recoveries and two forced fumbles. Since 2000, only one other FBS player had equaled or bettered each of those totals in a season. - Atlanta Journal-Constitution

Zach Gibson threw for 174 yards and Georgia Tech scored 21 unanswered points for a 21-17 road win against No. 13 North Carolina on Saturday. Georgia Tech (5-6, 4-4 Atlantic Coast Conference) trailed 17-0 late in the first half, but started to methodically move the ball. All three of its scoring drives were for 68-plus yards and culminated with rushing touchdowns. A 6-yard score on the ground by Hassan Hall with just over 11 minutes remaining in the fourth quarter proved to be the ticket for the Yellow Jackets, who kept their bowl hopes alive and improved to 4-3 under interim coach Brent Key.

North Carolina (9-2, 6-1 ACC) was riding a six-game winning streak and clinched the ACC's Coastal Division last week. The Tar Heels had a chance to regain the lead late in the fourth quarter, but Josh Downs dropped a 4th-and-11 pass from quarterback Drake Maye in the end zone with just over four minutes remaining. Maye, who had emerged as a possible Heisman contender as a redshirt freshman, failed to score a touchdown for the first time this season and had a season-low 202 yards passing. He was also sacked a season-high six times by Georgia Tech, three of which came via Keion White. - Georgia Tech/AP College Football

10/06/22 - Jaylon King, rSr/2024, Georgia Tech, 6-0, 193 (DS#26 SS) + More +

After a right-leg injury sustained in Georgia Tech's win at Pittsburgh on Saturday night, safety Jaylon King likely is out for the season, according to a person familiar with the situation. Asked about the matter Tuesday, interim coach Brent Key said that King had surgery and will miss the Yellow Jackets' home game against Duke on Saturday (4 p.m., Bally Sports South). "But our thoughts and prayers are with him and his family moving forward," Key said. "We have ample people at that position that we know are ready to step up and make plays, as they did on Saturday." A junior, King had been a steady presence in the Jackets secondary in his first season as a starter.

In five games, he had 32 tackles (most among defensive backs), one interception and a forced fumble. He held an important role in making pre-snap reads and communicating adjustments to the rest of the secondary. In the depth chart released Tuesday, freshman Clayton Powell-Lee was listed as the starter at free safety, backed up by Khari Gee. Powell-Lee, the son of former Tech receiver Gary Lee, has been among the team's more impressive freshmen thus far, drawing coaches' attention with his ability to quickly learn the defense. - Atlanta Journal Constitution
