Chris Elko - Uncertain status for Week 9 Elko (undisclosed) has been given a questionable status for Saturday's clash with Pittsburgh, per the ACC availability report.

Impact Elko's status is uncertain for Saturday's contest, as he has missed Georgia Tech's last two contests. The wideout has the next few days to recover, and if available, he will add depth to the receiving corps.

2026 College Football Coaching Carousel: 35 Key Names To Know

Dalen Penson - Another solid game Penson hauled in 5 of 7 targets for 88 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 49-27 defeat versus Boston College.

Impact Even though Georgia Tech suffered a disheartening loss in which it benched its starting quarterback, the wideout Penson managed to post his second straight game with five catches for 85-plus yards and a score. Penson has 50-plus yards receiving in every game but one this fall; the receiver is a consistent aspect of this inconsistent passing offense.

Jordan Allen - Solid outing in loss Allen gathered in all four targets for 85 yards during Saturday's 49-27 defeat against Boston College.

Impact Despite the Yellow Jackets' drama at quarterback -- Georgia Tech benched starter Alberto Mendoza in the midst of the embarrassing loss -- Allen managed to have a solid day. The sophomore remains a consistent part of this passing attack week in and week out, and he's quietly having a very solid season with 42 catches for 517 yards and one touchdown through seven games.

4 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Kevin Roche Jr. - Scores in rough loss Roche gathered in 6 of 8 targets for 32 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 49-27 loss to Boston College.

Impact Georgia Tech's offense had a forgettable day despite putting up 27 points. The Yellow Jackets benched starting quarterback Alberto Mendoza amidst a rough defeat against a bad Boston College team, but Roche still managed to put together a solid stat-line. The tight end continues to catch multiple passes each week, and his score against the Eagles was his first of the season.

4 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Trelain Maddox - Shut down by Eagles Maddox tallied seven carries for 24 yards and reeled in all four targets for 15 yards during Saturday's 49-27 defeat to Boston College.

Impact Maddox was limited to his lowest yardage total on the ground since Week 3, and while he did catch four passes, he wasn't able to do much of anything as a receiver either. It was a forgettable day on offense for the Yellow Jackets, who benched starter Alberto Mendoza in the second half.

4 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Justice Haynes - Scores in return Haynes totaled 14 rushes for 53 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 49-27 loss to Boston College.

Impact Haynes found the end zone against the Eagles after sitting out in Week 7. The tailback didn't manage to do much else, although his final stat-line is sold considering the Yellow Jackets got blown out. This is simply a hard offense to trust in any and all facets right now.

4 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Grady Adamson - Solid in relief of Mendoza Adamson completed 7 of 9 passes for 73 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 49-27 loss versus Boston College.

Impact Adamson replaced a struggling Alberto Mendoza in the second half of Georgia Tech's blowout loss to Boston College. The backup played well; he was efficient, he protected the ball and he threw for a touchdown. There could very well be a quarterback controversy brewing in Atlanta.

4 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Alberto Mendoza - Benched amidst blowout loss Mendoza completed 17 of 24 passes for 186 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions during Saturday's 49-27 loss against Boston College. He also had five rushes for 21 yards.

Impact Mendoza was benched in favor of Grady Adamson during Georgia Tech's blowout loss to Boston College. The gunslinger had yet another uneven day throwing the football, adding another two interceptions to his stat-line. It's unclear at the moment if Georgia Tech will continue to let Adamson take the reins of this offense, or if Mendoza will trot back out there with the starters at Pittsburgh on Halloween.

Malachi Hosley - Out vs. Boston College Hosley (undisclosed) is listed as out ahead of Saturday's matchup against Boston College.

Impact Hosley will miss his fourth consecutive game on Saturday against the Eagles with an undisclosed injury. The running back has played in just three games, totaling 16 rushes for 61 yards.

OCTOBER 21 • ROTOWIRE

Justice Haynes - Good to go Saturday Haynes (undisclosed) is off the injury report ahead of Saturday's matchup against Boston College.

Impact After missing last week's matchup due to an undisclosed injury, Haynes will return to action on Saturday against the Eagles. The Michigan transfer has 87 rushes for 462 yards and five total touchdowns this season.

OCTOBER 21 • Associated Press

Dalen Penson - Best game yet in 2026 Penson compiled five receptions (on six targets) for 86 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 34-24 defeat versus Virginia Tech.

Impact Penson had his best game of 2026 to date, tallying his most yards and scoring his first touchdown. The wideout has at least three catches for 50 yards in every game but one this fall, but he hasn't been extraordinarily productive otherwise in a hot and cold Georgia Tech passing attack.

OCTOBER 19 • ROTOWIRE

Jordan Allen - Another 10-catch outing Allen hauled in 10 of 12 targets for 120 yards during Saturday's 34-24 defeat versus Virginia Tech.

Impact Allen has logged 10 catches in back-to-back games; his chemistry with quarterback Alberto Mendoza only appears to be growing. There's clearly a concerted effort to get him the ball as well, as he's tallied 23 targets over the past two weeks after he notched 23 over the first four games combined.

OCTOBER 19 • ROTOWIRE

Trelain Maddox - Top ball-carrier for Yellow Jackets in loss Maddox had 12 carries for 96 yards and one touchdown and hauled in all three targets for 16 yards during Saturday's 34-24 loss versus Virginia Tech.

Impact With Justice Haynes and Malachi Hosley both out with undisclosed injuries, Maddox got to lead the way in the Yellow Jackets' backfield. He made the most of his extended opportunity, surpassing 100 yards and scoring a touchdown for the third straight week. Maddox may have earned himself a steady role in this offense even if the two aforementioned tailbacks do return.

OCTOBER 19 • ROTOWIRE

Alberto Mendoza - Best day as a passer yet Mendoza was 29-for-38 passing for 335 yards, two touchdowns and one interception during Saturday's 34-24 defeat versus Virginia Tech. He also had six rushes for -37 yards.

Impact Mendoza's 335 passing yards were a season high, and also the first time he'd surpassed 300 yards passing. His 76.3% completion rate was narrowly lower than his 76.7% from a week ago against Duke. Mendoza has been efficient, but he's not offering much as a runner (-47 rushing yards this year) and he's only scored multiple touchdowns in two of six games this fall.

OCTOBER 19 • ROTOWIRE

Justice Haynes - DNP for Week 7 Haynes (undisclosed) did not play in Saturday's 34-24 loss to Virginia Tech.

Impact Even after going through pregame warmups, Haynes was not able to take the field for Georgia Tech on Saturday. The running back missed his first game of the season, and in his stead, Trelain Maddox saw an increased workload (12-96-1). Haynes' next chance to play will come against Boston College in Week 8, when he will look to return and lead the Yellow Jackets backfield.

Justice Haynes - Warming up Saturday Haynes (undisclosed) is active during warmups ahead of Saturday's contest at Virginia Tech, per Kelly Quinlan of Rivals.com.

Impact Haynes was deemed doubtful on Georgia Tech's injury report ahead of Saturday's matchup, but his presence during warmups is a sign that he will be a game-time decision. A final call regarding his availability should be made closer to kickoff. If he is available, he will step back into his primary role as the lead back in the Yellow Jackets' backfield.

OCTOBER 17 • ROTOWIRE

Justice Haynes - GTD vs. Virginia Tech Haynes (undisclosed) is considered a game-time decision ahead of Saturday's game against the Hokies.

Impact Haynes was deemed doubtful throughout the week as he dealt with an undisclosed injury but appears to be trending towards possibly suiting up. More news regarding his status should surface closer to kickoff.
