Georgia Tech Lands Explosive WR in 2026 Recruiting Win
Georgia Tech Lands Explosive WR in 2026 Recruiting Win originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Georgia Tech just got a whole lot faster. Jeremy Winston, a dynamic athlete from Rome High School, gave his verbal commitment to the Yellow Jackets on Monday, becoming the first wide receiver in Tech's 2026 recruiting class. The 6-foot-1, 175-pound Winston is a two-sport standout known for his electric speed, elite leaping ability, and sharp route-running, attributes that make him a natural fit for Brent Key's high-octane offensive blueprint. Advertisement Winston, rated as a three-star prospect by 247Sports and Rivals, chose Tech over 15 scholarship offers from schools including Virginia Tech, Indiana, Wake Forest, and Cincinnati. He made his decision public shortly after completing an official visit in Atlanta, one that clearly sealed the deal. Winston exploded onto the radar last season at Rome, where he helped lead the Wolves to an 8-3 record and a second-round playoff appearance. Despite it being his first full season on varsity, he stood out as a true vertical threat, consistently winning 50/50 balls and creating separation with crisp routes. His film is loaded with examples of him high-pointing passes and making defenders miss in open space. Off the field, Winston is also a high-level basketball prospect known for his explosive first step and finishing ability around the rim, a testament to his athletic ceiling. With Winston and fellow Rome teammate Darnell Collins both pledging to Tech within minutes of each other, the Jackets now have seven total commits in the 2026 cycle, including two offensive playmakers. For a program focused on reclaiming its identity in the ACC, it's a statement weekend on the recruiting trail. Advertisement Georgia Tech fans have reason to be excited. Winston brings a spark to the class and represents the kind of in-state talent Brent Key and his staff are working hard to keep home. Now the real work begins: developing this talent into Saturday playmakers. But for now, the Jackets have landed one of the Peach State's rising stars, and they're just getting started.

Georgia Tech makes major announcement amid athletic momentum
Georgia Tech makes major announcement amid athletic momentum originally appeared on Athlon Sports. When J Batt announced his departure as Georgia Tech's athletic director, many Yellow Jacket fans wondered who would maintain the Institute's athletic momentum. The answer: Jon Palumbo, a name already etched into nearly every major decision at Tech Athletics over the past several years. Advertisement Palumbo, the former chief operating officer and executive deputy athletic director, has officially stepped in as interim athletic director, and he brings more than just continuity. He brings proven results. A key architect behind the resurgence of Georgia Tech's football program, Palumbo has been the day-to-day administrator for a team that just posted back-to-back bowl appearances for the first time in over a decade. He played a central role in the hiring of head coach Brent Key and was instrumental in bringing in men's basketball coach Damon Stoudamire and women's coach Karen Blair, hires that signaled a new era of competitive ambition in Midtown Atlanta. Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets head coach Brent Key on the sideline against the Louisville Cardinals in the second quarter at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Brett Davis-USA TODAY Sports 'Jon has been a central figure in Georgia Tech Athletics' growth and momentum,' said President Ángel Cabrera. 'He cares deeply about our student-athletes, and brings the experience, vision, and steady leadership needed to keep us moving forward during this transition.' Advertisement Palumbo's leadership also extends beyond the sidelines. He's overseeing the development of the $100 million Thomas A. Fanning Student-Athlete Performance Center, a 100,000-square-foot hub for training, nutrition, sports science, and medicine, built to serve over 400 student-athletes. The Helluva Block Party, now a signature gameday tradition on North Avenue is another example of his innovation, transforming fan engagement into one of the best atmospheres in the ACC. While a national search is underway to find the Institute's next full-time athletic director, Palumbo isn't just keeping the seat warm. He's pushing forward. For Tech fans, that means one thing: the commitment to winning isn't slowing down.

Georgia Tech Football Faces Crossroads Season With New AD Coming
Georgia Tech Football Faces Crossroads Season With New AD Coming originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The past decade on The Flats has been a slow fade from national relevance, but now Georgia Tech finds itself at a critical inflection point. Brent Key, once the sentimental interim, now sits in year three as the full-time head coach with a 14–12 record and back-to-back bowl appearances—the program's first such streak in a decade. Yet the momentum is fragile, and the stakes in Atlanta have never been higher. Advertisement Georgia Tech enters 2025 perched on the edge of two futures. One where it fully reclaims its spot among college football's power programs. The other? A slow slide into irrelevance, watching rivals surge ahead while Tech spins its wheels in neutral. Brent Key's Balancing Act Let's be honest: Brent Key didn't win this job in a traditional way—he was handed the keys during a turbulent transition. Now, with a new athletic director expected to step in following the exit of J Batt, the honeymoon might be over. Key's record—14-12 over two seasons (7-6 in both 2023 and 2024)—is steady, not spectacular. And while bowl games are better than basement finishes, steady won't keep you employed for long in today's arms race of college football. Especially not in Atlanta, a city with SEC-sized expectations and no patience for stagnation. Advertisement The upcoming schedule won't allow him to hide. Georgia Tech's 2025 slate reads like a national showcase: Georgia. Tennessee. Notre Dame. Colorado. Those are more than just games—they're high-stakes auditions. Win, or even compete credibly, and the program could earn an invitation back into college football's exclusive rooms. Lose big, and a coaching search might finally begin in earnest. Where Does Tech Fit in the New ACC? Tech's urgency is only heightened by the ACC's newly introduced revenue model, which prioritizes performance and TV ratings. No more guaranteed slices of the pie—schools that show up in primetime and win reap bigger rewards. So, where does Georgia Tech stand? Somewhere in the middle. This season is a golden opportunity to change that narrative. Advertisement The Yellow Jackets are one of the few programs in the ACC with the combination of brand potential and big-game matchups to cash in. But without tangible results—wins, rankings, and national buzz—Tech risks being just another mid-tier program fighting over the scraps Clemson, Florida State, and now SMU leave behind. J Batt's Blueprint and the Search for a Successor J Batt didn't stay long, but he left a trail of bold moves and financial fixes that gave the program a real shot at relevance. Before arriving in Atlanta, Batt was Alabama's financial engineer, a behind-the-scenes operator helping fund the Saban Empire. At Tech, he went to work immediately: a record-setting $78.2 million haul for the Alexander-Tharpe Fund. A $500 million "Full Steam Ahead" facilities overhaul. Hyundai naming rights for Grant Field. A neutral-site Georgia rivalry game in Mercedes-Benz Stadium. These weren't Band-Aids—these were surgical moves to bring Tech football into the modern era. Advertisement Revenue jumped from $29 million to $59 million. Georgia Tech leapt from 66th to 38th in Division I football revenue rankings in under two years. Now, with Batt off to greener pastures, Jon Palumbo—who's been in the department since 2022—takes over. Whether he maintains the same aggressive vision remains to be seen. But make no mistake: the next AD will have full license to make a coaching move if things stall. A Sleeping Giant in a Fertile State There's no reason Georgia Tech should be a middling program. The state of Georgia is a top-5 recruiting haven, and Tech's last two classes—ranked 33rd and 18th nationally—suggest Key has found a pitch that resonates. But closing the gap with SEC programs that dominate the region will require more than just talent—it requires proof of concept. Advertisement The good news? The schedule gives Tech a platform. The bad news? It also gives them nowhere to hide. And then there's the big hypothetical looming: realignment. If the SEC ever comes calling again—remember, Tech was a founding member—it'll be games like these that determine if the Yellow Jackets are ready to come home. Six Years Removed From Paul Johnson and the Triple Option Six seasons ago, Paul Johnson's option-based offense was phased out. The rebuild hasn't exactly gone according to plan, though the transfer portal has helped accelerate the process in recent years. Teams like Colorado have shown how quickly a new identity can take root. Tech isn't that far off—but it needs a signature season to flip the narrative. Advertisement That brings us to 2025. A year where bowl eligibility won't be enough. A year that could cement Brent Key as the long-term answer—or end the chapter before it truly began. Related: Georgia Tech Lands Explosive WR in 2026 Recruiting Win The Bottom Line In the NIL and transfer portal era, programs either adapt fast or get left behind. Georgia Tech has the infrastructure. It has a pipeline to talent. It has the city. What it doesn't have—yet—is proof. 2025 is the year to change that. Or else the new AD, armed with J Batt's blueprint and no emotional ties to the current regime, might decide it's time for buzz off.
