If you don’t have Georgia Tech’s Haynes King at the very top of your Heisman lists, I might be able to let you get away with that. Georgia Tech has lots of wins. They don’t have an elite one, but if you don’t have King in your Top 5 at this point, and slated for New York, then you aren’t watching college football. You simply can’t be.
Georgia Tech moved to 8-0 on Saturday after a 41-16 win over Syracuse.
What would they be without Haynes King? 6-2 at best, maybe 5-3? Colorado, Clemson, Wake Forest, and Duke – yeah Georgia Tech isn’t doing better than a split in those games where Haynes King led them to either game-winning drives or 2nd half comebacks. That’s nothing against backup QB Aaron Philo, who has shown flashes of being a very good QB when he’s had his chances, but King is the engine that makes this Georgia Tech team go.
What is happening at Georgia Tech in 2025 is historic. The Jackets are off to their best start in over 50 years, and their highest ranking in more than a decade. With 8 wins on the season, if they didn’t win another game, it would still be their best season since 2016.
King accounted for nearly 400 yards of offense against Syracuse, 304 in the air and 91 on the ground. He’s completing over 70% of his passes, and he’s already in the neighborhood of 2000 yards of total offense this year.
Around the country, there is buzz, and it’s growing. It’s still not enough.
