Coach Deion "Prime" Sanders has turned around the Buffaloes in rapid fashion. But with the loss of key players to the NFL Draft, he will be tasked with winning with unproven players. On the other side, Georgia Tech had a big week one victory last year and is no stranger to the spotlight with some veteran players.  Who will kick off 2025 on the right foot?

Key players you need to watch on the Colorado Buffaloes

  • Jordan Seaton – Offense – The former five-star recruit impressed as a true freshman last season, starting at offensive tackle and protecting the quarterback's blindside.
  • Omarion Miller – Offense – Despite a lower leg injury ending his 2024 season early, Miller was in line to be the top receiver following the departure of the team's top four receivers.
  • DJ McKinney – Defense – McKinney was a standout cornerback in 2024 with eight passes defended, three interceptions, 61 tackles, and a defensive touchdown, serving as a key figure in the secondary.

Key players you need to watch on the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets

  • Haynes King – Offense – Georgia Tech’s veteran quarterback returns to lead Brent Key’s offense after a strong 2024 season, bringing both passing ability and mobility to the position.
  • Jamal Haynes – Offense – A versatile playmaker at running back, Haynes is a returning weapon who can impact the game on the ground and through the air as a reliable receiving option.
  • Brayden Manley – Defense – A promising defensive end, Manley has the upside of being an instant impact player on the Yellow Jackets’ defensive line with his size and athleticism.

Who's winning the Colorado vs. Georgia Tech game?

The key player in this matchup will be the Liberty transfer QB in Kaidon Slater. He is a mobile passer who can add a spark to a Colorado team that needs a new identity. Georgia Tech enters this season with good momentum from last season and crucial returning starters. Colorado is currently a 4.5-point underdog, and there is too much mystery with this team. I like the more experienced Georgia Tech to get the win easily in this matchup.
