Justice Haynes News, Rumors, Updates - Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets

Nears 100 yards in loss Haynes notched 12 rushes for 87 yards and reeled in 1 of 2 targets for 12 yards during Saturday's 44-17 defeat against Louisville.

Impact Haynes continues to get a healthy amount of touches, but the problem is this Georgia Tech offense is simply stuck in the mud. It can't decide on a quarterback and remains largely ineffective elsewhere. Still, Haynes had a solid day even in a blowout loss, and his 87 rushing yards were his most since Week 4.

Stymied vs. Pitt Haynes tallied 11 carries for 33 yards and hauled in all two targets for 24 yards during Saturday's 34-11 defeat against Pittsburgh.

Impact Haynes couldn't get anything going against the Panthers, much like the rest of the Georgia Tech offense. This was easily his worst game of the season, and while he'll look to bounce back against Louisville, the tailback plays for an extremely unreliable offense at the moment, and his 11 carries against Pitt were a season low.

NOVEMBER 2 • ROTOWIRE

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.

OCTOBER 26 • ROTOWIRE

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 • ROTOWIRE

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.

OCTOBER 18 • ROTOWIRE

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

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.

OCTOBER 17 • ROTOWIRE

Listed as doubtful Haynes is listed as doubtful for Saturday's game against Virginia Tech.

Impact Haynes status is in doubt for Saturday's game, leaving the door open for Trelain Maddox to take on an extended role with Malachi Hosley (undisclosed) set to miss a third straight game.

OCTOBER 14 • ROTOWIRE

Held in check vs. Duke Haynes accrued 14 rushes for 69 yards and gathered in 0 of 1 targets for zero yards during Saturday's 28-25 victory versus Duke.

Impact Haynes' 69 yards were his second-lowest output this season, and he failed to catch a pass for the first time in 2026. The tailback remains a big part of this offense, but the Yellow Jackets' didn't muster a big offensive day despite the victory.

OCTOBER 12 • ROTOWIRE

Eclipses 100 yards again Haynes tallied 18 rushes for 107 yards and reeled in all two targets for -19 yards during Saturday's 34-27 loss versus Stanford.

Impact Haynes surpassed the 100-yard mark for the second straight week, and the Georgia Tech offense appears to be settling in a bit. It wasn't enough for the win, of course, but Haynes remains an integral part of this offense and that shouldn't change anytime soon.

Hat trick vs. FCS Mercer Haynes recorded 22 carries for 141 yards and two touchdowns and hauled in 2 of 3 targets for 26 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 44-11 victory against Mercer.

Impact Haynes exploded against Mercer as the Georgia Tech offense enjoyed its best outing of 2026 thus far in a tune-up game against extremely overmatched Mercer. Though the Yellow Jackets' offense hasn't been pretty at times, Haynes has seen a big workload on the ground week in and week out and this Saturday's trip to Stanford offers another chance to post a big outing.

Good outing vs. Tennessee Haynes notched 14 rushes for 81 yards and one touchdown and gathered in all six targets for 36 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 45-24 loss to Tennessee.

Impact Haynes managed to record a bounce-back outing in Week 2 after laying an egg in Week 1 against Colorado. Though Georgia Tech wound up losing pretty handily, Haynes surpassed 100 yards and scored his first touchdown of the season. After he wasn't involved through the air in the opener, it was also encouraging to see the back catch six passes.

Bottled up vs. Buffs Haynes notched 19 rushes for 64 yards and hauled in their only target for four yards during Thursday's 14-13 loss against Colorado.

Impact Haynes was limited to 3.3 yards per carry against what was a surprisingly stout Buffaloes defense. Georgia Tech's offense couldn't get much going all night, especially on the ground. It certainly wasn't for lack of trying; Haynes got plenty of action with 19 carries. The Yellow Jackets will look to bounce back and establish the run in another tough matchup in Week 2 against Tennessee.

SEPTEMBER 6 • ROTOWIRE

Tabbed as starter on DC Haynes is tabbed as the RB1 in the depth chart ahead of Week 1 against Colorado on Thursday, Kelly Quinlan of Rivals.com reports.

Impact Haynes is a transfer from Michigan, and all signs point to him opening the season as the starter in the Yellow Jackets' backfield. He suffered a foot injury that cut his 2025 season short, but before that, he was excellent when available for the Wolverines. In seven games, he rushed 121 times for 857 yards and 10 touchdowns while also adding 13 catches for 50 yards.

Spotted on field for spring ball Haynes (foot) was spotted on the field for the start of Georgia Tech's spring practice session Thursday, Alex Farrer of Rivals.com reports.

Impact Haynes opted to move on from Michigan after just one year in Ann Arbor, where he accumulated career-best marks of 121 carries for 857 yards and 10 rushing scores. He's elected to return south to his home state of Georgia to close out his career and may claim the top spot on the depth chart for the Yellow Jackets in 2026, though Malachi Hosley performed well in 2025 and should remain a factor in the backfield. He's at least healthy to kick off spring after missing the final five games of 2025 due to a foot injury that required surgery.
