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

Tennessee football coach Josh Heupel said cornerback Warren Burrell is out for the season with an upper-body injury. Burrell has 22 career starts, but he's been sidelined since suffering an injury in the Vols' win over Pittsburgh in Week 2. His loss comes as Tennessee is trying to improve its struggling pass defense, which ranks No. 128 among 131 FBS teams. - Knoxville News Sentinel

09/15/22 - Haynes King, rSr/2026, Georgia Tech, 6-3, 215 (DS#9 QB) + More +

Texas A&M head coach Jimbo Fisher is open to changing quarterbacks and the play-caller if it will jump-start the offense. The 24th-ranked Aggies have one of the country's worst offenses after two games. A&M ranks 100th in scoring (22.5 points per game), 101st in total offense (341.5 yards per game) and 114th in rushing (99.5 ypg). Sophomore quarterback Haynes King threw a pair of interceptions in a 31-0 victory over Sam Houston State. He was ineffective in last week's 17-14 loss to Appalachian State, completing 13 of 20 for 97 yards with no touchdown and no interceptions. He was sacked twice. "We possibly could [make a change]," Fisher said. "We'll evaluate everything this week. We'll evaluate every position this week." That includes Fisher relinquishing his play-calling duties. - Bryan/College Station Eagle

09/10/22 - Dontae Smith, rSr/2024, Georgia Tech, 5-09, 199 (DS#45 RB) + More +

Dontae Smith ran for 102 yards and three touchdowns, and Georgia Tech turned to its running game and a takeaway-savvy defense to snap a seven-game losing streak with a 35-17 victory over Western Carolina on Saturday night. The Yellow Jackets (1-1) forced four turnovers - interceptions by Derrik Allen, Myles Sims and Charlie Thomas and a fumble recovery by Aliyde Eley - and swarmed the FCS Catamounts (1-1) to hold them to just 118 yards in the second half. Georgia Tech, which finished with 243 yards rushing and 7.1-yards per game, had lost its last three games by a combined 141-10 score, leaving embattled coach Geoff Collins 9-26 entering the game.

But the Jackets scored on consecutive possessions in the first and second quarters and never trailed again. Western Carolina quarterback Carlos Davis, coming off a school record six TD passes and 433 yards passing in a win last week at Charleston Southern, finished with 233 yards on 18 of 27 passing. He constantly escaped with scrambles before getting knocked out of the game late in the third quarter on a hit by Eley. Cole Gonzales took charge of the offense and quickly threw an interception to Thomas. The loss dropped the Catamounts to 0-61 all-time against FBS competition and 0-33 against the Atlantic Coast Conference. - Georgia Tech/AP College Football

09/03/22 - Haynes King, rSr/2026, Georgia Tech, 6-3, 215 (DS#9 QB) + More +

Haynes King threw for a career-high 364 yards and three long touchdowns to lead No. 6 Texas A&M to a 31-0 win over Sam Houston Saturday in a game that included an almost three-hour weather delay. "We've got a long way to go," Texas A&M coach Jimbo Fisher said. "We've got to get a lot better... just got to keep developing in the things we do." King, who was named the starter last week after beating out two others in camp, threw touchdown passes of 66, 63 and 43 yards in the opener for both teams.

King also threw two interceptions in an inconsistent performance in his return after breaking his leg in the second game last season. Ainias Smith had six receptions for a career-high 164 yards with two touchdowns and Devon Achane ran for a score to help Texas A&M to the victory. "On the defensive side, I felt like they played well," Smith said. "Sticking to the offensive side, we need to go ahead and execute a whole lot better.” The Aggies were up 17-0 at halftime when the game was suspended due to lightning in the area at 1 p.m. Neither team returned to the field after halftime and a message was posted on the video boards telling fans that the game was suspended and to seek shelter. - Texas A&M/AP College Football

2022 PRESEASON WUERFFEL TROPHY (COMMUNITY SERVICE) WATCHLIST: Myles Sims, Georgia Tech, Jr., DB,...Sims has dedicated his time and talents to a number of community service initiatives during his three years at Georgia Tech, including Habitat for Humanity and the Salvation Army. Perhaps most notably, shortly after receiving his bachelor's degree in business administration from Georgia Tech in May, Sims joined a group of 16 Georgia Tech student-athletes from across multiple sports to embark on Tech's fourth Jackets Without Borders international service trip. Returning after a two-year hiatus due to the Covid-19 pandemic, Jackets Without Borders returned to Puerto Rico in 2022 to continue to assist with rehabilitation following the devastating hurricanes that ravaged the island in 2017. Thanks in large part to Sims' efforts and leadership, the group was able to lay the entire foundation for a house in less than one week. - Georgia Tech Football

08/29/22 - Kevin Harris II, Sr/2025, Georgia Tech, 6-3, 245 (DS#67 DE) + More +

High expectations attended Georgia Tech defensive end Kevin Harris, a transfer from Alabama, prior to last season. Harris' transfer was prompted after he did not see the field for the Crimson Tide in 2020, but he had also been a four-star prospect at Grayson High. He was rated the No. 123 player nationally in the 2019 class and the No. 15 player in Georgia (247Sports Composite). In the preseason last year, his one-on-one pass-rush battles with left tackle Devin Cochran also gave a picture of the quickness that Harris was bringing to the position. He was also included in The Athletic's annual list of college football freaks because of his uncommon strength (31 bench-press reps of 225 pounds) and explosiveness (39-inch vertical leap).

Once the season began, the awaited production did not materialize. In his first season on the field, Harris played behind starter Jordan Domineck and fellow backup Kyle Kennard at the rush end position. Appearing in all 12 games, he finished with six tackles. "I feel like there were a lot of things I could have improved on, those being my first couple snaps of real-game snaps," Harris said in an interview with The Atlanta Journal-Constitution on Aug. 6 at the team's media day. "I think I could have made some better adjustments last year, and I think this year you'll see a lot more production." - Atlanta Journal Constitution
