Georgia Tech enters 2026 with its biggest expectations in years, but there is no escaping the changes at key positions on the field and in the coaching staff. Indiana transfer Alberto Mendoza — brother of Heisman winner Fernando Mendoza — is projected to replace the beloved Haynes King at quarterback. Brent Key’s team also has new coordinators on both sides of the ball: George Godsey on offense and Jason Semore on defense.
The season kicks off in primetime on ESPN against Prime Time Deion Sanders and his Colorado Buffaloes, the first of several big games on the Yellow Jackets’ 2026 schedule. The Ramblin’ Wreck will also appear on ACC Network, with more TV windows still to be announced.
