Georgia Tech Football Depth Chart Archive

How to read the charts

Georgia Tech releases a depth chart early in each game week. It has barely changed this season. Across the charts recorded here, the only changes are a new starting left tackle and the removal of Kyle Efford. Over the same stretch, the availability report has ruled out at least 11 players every ACC week. So the chart shows how the staff ranks players, not who will play.

Names joined by “or” are listed as co-starters or co-backups. Status badges come from the same week’s ACC availability report (the latest version recorded), so you can see which listed starters had already been ruled out.

at Pittsburgh

Change: Josh Petty replaces Ethan Mackenny as the starting left tackle, with Jordan Floyd as his backup. Floyd is also still listed as the backup right tackle.
Georgia Tech On SI called this the first depth chart change of the season, though Kyle Efford had already been removed from the Boston College-week chart.

vs. Boston College

Change: Kyle Efford is no longer listed after his medical retirement. The linebacker group drops to two spots, with Braylon Outlaw or CJ Gamble backing up Cayman Spaulding.
This is compared with the last chart recorded here (Duke week). The Virginia Tech-week chart is missing, so the change may have appeared a week earlier.
