Way-Too-Early 2025 Georgia Tech Projected Offensive Depth Chart

Wide Receiver

1. Malik Rutherford

2. Bailey Stockton

Wide Receiver

1. Eric Rivers

2. Zion Taylor

Wide Receiver

1. Dean Patterson

2. Isiah Canion

Singleton is gone, but Georgia Tech landed one of the transfer portal's best wide receivers when they got FIU transfer Eric Rivers. Rivers was joined by FIU teammate Dean Patterson and both guys will have a chance to start right away. Rutherford is back for one more season. I think Rivers and Rutherford are highly likely to start, while the other outside receiver spot will be either Patterson or Canion due to their size. The depth of this position is going to be the question mark, but there is talent. One guy to watch is incoming true freshman Jordan Allen. Allen has blazing speed and the ability to stretch the field and could see playing time early on. While there is talent here, there will be some question marks as well.

Tight End

1. Brett Seither, Luke Harpring, J.T. Byrne, Or Harry Lodge

It would be foolish to have just two tight ends listed here because if you pay attention to Georgia Tech, they use plenty of tight ends for many different roles. While the Yellow Jackets are losing Avery Boyd, Jackson Hawes, and Ryland Goede, they will have Brett Seither back for one more season after he was out for all of 2024 with an injury, Harpring could take a step forward after flashing as a true freshman, and the Yellow Jackets bring in Lodge and Byrne from the portal. Don't forget about Josh Beetham either. All five of these guys should play different roles this year.

Left Tackle

1. Ethan Mackenny

2. Jameson Riggs

Left Guard

1. Joe Fusile

2. Harrison Moore

Center

1. Tana Alo-Tupuola

Right Guard

1. Keylan Rutledge

2. Josh Petty

Right Tackle

1. Benjamin Galloway

2. Andrew Rosinski or JaKolby Jones

The offensive line is one of the harder positions to figure out for Georgia Tech. They lose Weston Franklin, Jordan Williams, and Corey Robinson II off of last year's team, but Ethan Mackenny should step in at left tackle. He split time with Robinson down the stretch and was a Freshman All-American two years ago. Joe Fusile and Keylan Rutledge will be one of the best guard tandems in the ACC, but who starts at center and right tackle? Who will provide depth at these positions? It is a bit tough to project or guess at the moment. Tana Alo-Tupuola was the backup to Franklin this past season and the redshirt freshman will likely get a chance to start at center this year, same with Benjamin Galloway at right tackle.

A couple of other things to note on the offensive line is that Georgia Tech likes to move guys around positionally. Harrison Moore is a talented player who saw plenty of playing time this season and he could be moved around to fill a spot. Georgia Tech landed offensive linemen Andrew Rosinski (North Carolina) and JaKolby Jones (JUCO) from the portal, but will they be ready to play right away? The players to watch in this position might be true freshmen Josh Petty and Peyton Joseph. Petty is one of the highest-rated recruits to ever sign with Georgia Tech and could push for playing time somewhere. Joseph could challenge for a backup spot at guard. I am not super confident in projecting the depth on the offensive line and expect these positions to be fluid through spring ball. Offensive line coach Geep Wade and head coach Brent Key have gotten the most out of this position the past couple of seasons and I expect them to do the same again in 2025, but who plays where is still a question mark. I always find it tough to put freshmen in an early depth chart because they have not played a down in college football yet, but Petty and Joseph are ultra-talented guys who should be watched.

Going into the spring, the positions to watch will be the offensive line (for starters and depth), how the tight end rotation might look, and the wide receiver spot. There is plenty of talent on this side of the ball and it should result in the Yellow Jackets being one of the top offenses in the ACC again.
