While not a perfect season, Georgia Tech’s 2024 season was a success. They started it off by pulling off an upset against Florida State in Ireland, they had an amazing finish in the win over North Carolina, they upset No. 4 Miami and helped keep them out of the College Football Playoff, freshman quarterback Aaron Philo mounted a game-winning drive vs NC State, and the Yellow Jackets were close to ending their losing streak to Georgia. With one of the program’s best recruiting classes coming in, this feels like the start of something special on The Flats.
There is a lot of belief in the future of Georgia Tech football under Brent Key, and 2024 only added to that confidence with the way the Yellow Jackets performed against the best teams on their schedule. Georgia Tech was one of just seven teams in the ACC to finish with a winning record in conference play, and they had to get there playing four of the other six teams (2-2). Wins against Miami and Duke highlight the year, but so too did the gutsy performance from Haynes King and the Yellow Jackets on Black Friday as they took eventual SEC champion Georgia into eight overtimes. If not for some quarterback injuries and a dud of a loss at Virginia Tech, this was an “A,” but still an undisputed success of a season. Grade: B”
Will Georgia Tech be able to improve upon their success next season? It is possible.
A big reason for optimism for next season for the Yellow Jackets is that it sounds like quarterback Haynes King is going to be back for one last season in Atlanta. When speaking with the media yesterday, King had this to say about another season with Georgia Tech
