ACC Media Days: Georgia Tech QB Haynes King Fires at Rival - “To Hell With Georgia”

Despite battling limitations in the passing game for part of the year, King put together one of the most efficient campaigns in school history in 2024. 

He set a Georgia Tech and ACC single-season record by completing 72.9% of his throws (196-of-269) for 2,114 passing yards and 14 touchdowns. 

Most notably, he cut down dramatically on turnovers, tossing just two interceptions after throwing 16 the year prior. On the ground, King added 587 rushing yards and 11 scores on 125 carries, bringing his total to 2,701 yards and 25 total touchdowns across 11 games.

“We definitely have unfinished business,” King said. “The first one, we’ve got to take it one game at a time. Being at Colorado for the first game, that’s going to be a big one. Just take it each week, make it simple.”

King continued: “Some people try to make it too complicated and try to make it harder than it is. If you execute and do your job and have the players around you playing at a high level, things are going to happen for you. I’m not the one to mainly focus on individual accolades or individual success. If your team’s having success, that stuff is going to come.”

King returns for a pivotal year at quarterback, hoping to lead Georgia Tech beyond their back-to-back 7-6 seasons.
