Brent Key Reiterates His Belief That Georgia Tech Has The Best Quarterback Room In The Country

It is hard to build good quarterback depth in today's college football landscape of the transfer portal and NIL. Keeping a talented backup is a challenge in this environment, but Georgia Tech has managed to pull it off. The Yellow Jackets have one of the most experienced quarterbacks in the country in Haynes King, but last season saw freshman Aaron Philo emerge as the future of the position for Georgia Tech. Philo played well in wins over Miami and NC State to end the season and with both players back, Georgia Tech has little concern about the most important position on the field.

Yesterday after spring practice, Georgia Tech head coach Brent Key talked about his quarterback room and made a claim that it is the best in the country, something that he has said multiple times this offseason:

"Well, I mean, I've said this and I'm not afraid to say this publicly. I mean, I do believe we have the best quarterback room in the country. I mean, with all guys returning, the competition that they have day to day. I mean, it's great from the quarterback room to the offensive meetings, the offensive unit rooms, all of the, really across the board. I mean, look, you don't do some of the things Haynes did last year. You don't have Aaron Philo in there competing. And you're not able to come in if you're Aaron Philo and compete the way he did last year if it wasn't for the other guys and for Haynes and for Graham Knowles. And when you talk to somebody, it's changed the way they look and the way they throw the ball. I mean, you know, Graham's got as much upside as anybody. So we've got a really good room there. Uh, fully expect these guys to compete every single day from now until the last snap of the last game of the season."
