No. 2 Jackets Baseball Hosts Kennesaw State Tonight

>>The No. 2 ranked Yellow Jackets are playing some of their best baseball as they prepare to host Kennesaw State, on Tuesday.

The Jackets are 26-5 overall and 12-3 in the ACC for the first time since 2010.


>>Tech has won at least 26 of its first 31 games for only the 7th time in the program’s 131 seasons: 2010, 2002, 1997, 1994, 1990 and 1971.


>>Head coach James Ramsey is tied with his predecessor, Danny Hall, for the best record by any first-year GT head coach through the first 31 games of their tenure.


>>Tech has won its first eight series of the season for the first time since 1994 and are 5-0 in ACC series for the first time since 2005.


>>Last Tuesday’s 13-3 (8) win over No. 11 Auburn brought GT’s record to 17-2 at Mac Nease Baseball Park for the first time since 2010. A win on Tuesday would bring Tech to 18-2 at home for only the fourth time this century (also 2010, 2008 and 2002).


>>Tech has won eight straight games, four of which came against Top 15 opponents (three vs. No. 14 NC State and one vs. No. 11 Auburn). GT has a chance to extend the winning streak to nine games with a win over Kennesaw, tied for the longest winning streak since 2016.


>>The Yellow Jackets enter this week as the best offense in the country and the best offense in modern college baseball history. In the 16 seasons of the BBCOR era, the 2026 Yellow Jackets have produced the best on-base percentage (.488) and runs/game (11.4) of any Power 4 team after eight weeks in the BBCOR era.

Georgia Tech QB Haynes King Visits Atlanta Falcons Ahead of NFL Draft

Falcons logo

>>Georgia Tech quarterback Haynes King is set to visit with the Atlanta Falcons and the Carolina Panthers this week as he continues his pre-draft process. King, who started 23 games over the past two seasons for the Yellow Jackets, is looking to prove he can be an NFL quarterback despite some uncertainty around his draft stock.

>>The Falcons are in need of quarterback depth with uncertainty around Michael Penix Jr.'s health and the team's reliance on veteran Tua Tagovailoa. King staying in Atlanta to play for his hometown team would be a compelling storyline, though he will have to compete for a roster spot.

>>King said he briefly spoke with Falcons president and former quarterback Matt Ryan after Georgia Tech's pro day, describing it as an "honor" to meet the franchise legend. King also addressed the possibility of teams asking him to switch positions, stating that he sees himself as a quarterback and plans to compete as one at the next level.

>>King will visit with the Falcons and Panthers this week. The 2026 NFL Draft is set to begin on April 23rd.
