  09/01/21 - Haynes King, rSr/2026, Georgia Tech, 6-2, 212 (DS#15 QB) + More +

  Haynes King hasn't taken a snap as Texas A&M's starting quarterback, but he's already in good company. "I'd hate to say it, but if I were coaching Joe Montana or Tom Brady, I'd still be nervous," A&M head coach Jimbo Fisher said. Kellen Mond was Fisher's starting quarterback for his first 36 games in Aggieland. Fisher said he worried about Mond's first game as his quarterback and basically every other one, especially season openers. "No matter what, those first games there's always those jitters, there's always those concerns," Fisher said. "You want to dot your i's and cross your t's as a coach to make sure you've done everything possible to put him in the best position to be successful." King and the team have put in the work and are well prepared, Fisher said.

King and A&M have all the ingredients to be a winning combination from the get-go. King is talented dual quarterback and he's surrounded by 15 returning starters, including four preseason All-Americans. King was named the starting quarterback for Saturday's season opener against Kent State because of consistency, not his ability to make plays with his legs. "It was his pocket presence and his ability to throw the ball accurately," Fisher said at Monday's press conference. "I'm still a firm believer in decision making and accuracy is how you play great football." - Bryan/College Station Eagle

  08/27/21 - Haynes King, rSr/2026, Georgia Tech, 6-2, 212 (DS#15 QB) + More +

  Freshman quarterback Haynes King will lead the Aggie offense in Texas A&M's home opener against Kent State, head coach Jimbo Fisher told ESPN 97.5 Wednesday. "Right now, Haynes will be our starter and Zach [Calzada] will be the backup, right now," Fisher said on "The Bench" morning show. "We had a great talk yesterday. I feel very comfortable with both guys. I think both guys can win and play well. I think both guys had an outstanding camp and this is the criteria of how we went through things." The 6-foot-3, 200-pound quarterback is in his second season at A&M and saw action in two games last year. Once the Aggies' 52-24 loss to Alabama was out of hand, King made his college debut and connected on a 17-yard pass and rushed for a team-high 43 yards. He ended the drive with an interception in the end zone. His first career touchdown was to tight end Max Wright on a 45-yard crossing route in the Aggies' 48-3 win at South Carolina. - Bryan/College Station Eagle

  08/24/21 - Tobias Oliver, Sr/2022, Georgia Tech, 6-1, 204 (DS#103 CB) + More +

  After the luxury of a full spring practice and an offseason training with his teammates, Georgia Tech cornerback Tobias Oliver feels much better about his play going into his second season at the position. Oliver came to Tech to play quarterback for coach Paul Johnson and shined as a redshirt freshman backup to TaQuon Marshall in 2018. He was the starting quarterback in the 2019 season opener, coach Geoff Collins' debut, but moved to wide receiver midseason.

Oliver moved again after that season, this time to cornerback, but spring practice was cut short because of COVID-19. Then the pandemic prevented him from working with teammates in 7-on-7 drills and gaining more experience at a position he had never previously played. While he's one of the top athletes on the team, it was an adventure at corner last season. "Last year was definitely an eye-opener," Oliver said Wednesday. "I wasn't as ready as I thought I was." He called cornerback a "feel position," and his growing knowledge of the defense, opposing offenses and the techniques required to play the position have helped his comfort and confidence level. This year, with the experience of a season as a backup cornerback, followed by spring practice and then offseason work, "I feel very confident at the position," he said. - Atlanta Journal Constitution

  Georgia Tech running back Bruce Jordan-Swilling and defensive lineman Grey Carroll are expected to rejoin the team when the fall semester begins on Aug. 23. Neither has been practicing with the team during the preseason. "That's what we're anticipating," coach Geoff Collins said Monday, following the team's ninth preseason practice. "I think Monday, class will start, so they'll be back." By NCAA rule, teams are limited to 110 players that can take part in preseason practice before the start of class. An early-enrollee freshman, Carroll has been recovering from a physical ailment. Jordan-Swilling, going into his senior year, has had an academic obligation, according to his father Pat Swilling. "I don't want to put a date on it, but he's progressing really well," Collins said of Carroll. "Our athletics training staff is amazing and he works really, really hared to get himself back in a good spot." - Atlanta Journal Constitution

  08/21/21 - Brent Cimaglia, rSr/2022, Georgia Tech, 6-0, 219 (DS#999 K) + More +

  When Brent Cimaglia was seeking a transfer destination after graduating from Tennessee, the kicker had a salesman on the inside at Georgia Tech. The testimony of punter and kickoff specialist Austin Kent, himself a grad transfer from UCLA, helped convince Cimaglia to transfer to Tech. "I've known him since eighth grade," Cimaglia said Thursday. "And really just hearing his stories about how fun Georgia Tech was, it was an easy decision." Cimaglia entered the transfer portal in late January, announced his decision to enroll at Tech in February and arrived in the summer. Using the extra season of eligibility provided by the NCAA because of COVID-19, he has one season remaining.

His experience and accuracy over four seasons with the Volunteers (he made 46 of 62 field-goal tries) figure to be a boost for Tech, which has been 3-for-8 each of the past two seasons. He was 4-for-4, with a long of 48 yards, in the team's scrimmage Saturday. "From Austin being my holder to Cade Long being the snapper to coach (Brent) Key setting up the line and the protection, I think we have a very good unit this year," Cimaglia said. "Can't wait to go out there first game and put some points on the board." Cimaglia spoke highly of the team environment at Tech, which guard Ryan Johnson, also a former Volunteer, had told him about. Cimaglia was skeptical before visiting. "So I came down, and it was just amazing," he said. "From the coaches to the players to the school to academics, everybody was just amazing. Really friendly." - Atlanta Journal Constitution

  08/21/21 - Dylan Leonard, rSr/2024, Georgia Tech, 6-5, 242 (DS#46 TE) + More +

  Georgia Tech tight end Dylan Leonard packed on the pounds as a freshman in an attempt to handle the rigors of college football. Weighing about 210 pounds upon his arrival in 2019, he expanded by about 35 pounds in less than a year, a commitment that helped him earn a scholarship from coach Geoff Collins. He spent the offseason making those 245 pounds work better for him. "Last year, I kind of felt a little awkward sometimes with my body just because I wasn't used to carrying 245," he said Thursday. "But now I've gotten a lot stronger, and I've kind of redistributed that weight to more muscle, so I feel a lot more powerful, a lot faster in my body now."

Now in his third season, Leonard is competing with classmate Dylan Deveney for the starting job. Last year, Leonard played in seven games and started two as he split time with Deveney. Just as Leonard's increased strength has served him thus far in the preseason, so has his experience. "Just as we get older, the way I approach the game has really changed," he said. "It's kind of come from, 'How can I not mess up this play?' to 'How can I maximize this play?' And I feel like that mindset, especially in blocking, has helped me be more confident, more comfortable." - Atlanta Journal Constitution

  08/19/21 - Kenneth Kirby, rSr/2022, Georgia Tech, 6-4, 305 (DS#93 OG) + More +

  After six days of preseason practice, Georgia Tech defensive end Jordan Domineck has had chances to spar with new offensive tackle Kenneth "K.J." Kirby. Tech's leading returning sack producer gave his approval Thursday of the graduate transfer from Norfolk State. "K.J.'s a good offensive lineman," Domineck said Thursday. "He has strong hands, a good set. It's nice to be able to go against that level of competition." Kirby transferred after playing three seasons at the FCS school, twice earning all-conference honors at offensive tackle. It's possible he could pair with Devin Cochran, with the Vanderbilt grad transfer playing left tackle and Kirby on the right. Jordan Williams, who started at right tackle last season as a freshman, could move to guard. Domineck said that it's "always iron sharpening iron" when competing against those three. Domineck said he and Kirby have traded practices where each got the better of the other. - Atlanta Journal-Constitution
