Eight Yellow Jackets were drafted this year, shattering program records with five selected in the first five rounds and six position players drafted — a new school high. Alex Hernandez led the charge in the fifth round, followed by Parker Brosius, Tate McKee, and Porter Buursema, bringing Georgia Tech’s all-time draft total to 237. Hernandez smashed freshman RBI records and shone in postseasons, Brosius anchored offense for four years and helped win multiple titles, McKee dominated as a two-season ace earning national honors, and Buursema brought elite fastball potential as a transfer. The momentum is palpable — season ticket sales are surging, fans are buzzing, and the future looks brighter than ever.

Georgia Tech athletics shattered records with $175 million in revenue—up 12% from last year—thanks to a surge in fundraising, roaring concert returns, and booming attendance across sports. The Alexander-Tharpe Fund hit $110 million for the first time, while season ticket donations jumped 55%. Sold-out concerts by Chris Brown and Bruno Mars, plus a 67% spike in concessions and 31% growth in licensing, fueled the momentum. Multimedia rights and ACC payouts also climbed, driven by a strong football season that landed them a bowl game and a top-25 national finish. With fans flooding back and concerts set to become a regular feature, Georgia Tech is proving that fan engagement and diversified revenue are the keys to sustained athletic success.

"Someone’s Life Is Changing Today..." - A message from Corey

Happy 4th of July! - A message of Corey

Georgia Tech’s Aidan Birr and Justice Haynes are dominating preseason hype, earning all-America nods and first-team all-ACC honors—Birr on third team, Haynes on fourth—with offensive tackle Ethan Mackenny joining them. Birr, a Lou Groza Award finalist, shattered school records for field goals, while Haynes, back in Atlanta after a stellar Michigan stint, averaged over 120 yards per game and scored touchdowns at a high clip. The offensive line, led by Mackenny and Malachi Carney, is praised for elite rushing support and minimal sacks allowed. On defense, Kyle Efford and E.J. Lightsey lead the team in tackles, with Efford setting a three-year consecutive record. These honors follow strong preseason buzz from Phil Steele, as Georgia Tech finishes last season 9-4, ranked 24th nationally, and remains a consistent ACC powerhouse. The Yellow Jackets open the 2026 season on September 3rd against Colorado, facing a loaded schedule and high expectations.
