ACC QB And OL Players of the Week.
Franklin had the most impressive hi school tape of any OFF Tech lineman in the last 4 yrs that saw..I'm surprised he hasn't shown out before now.Georgia Tech quarterback Haynes King and center Weston Franklin were recognized by the ACC Monday for their efforts in last Saturday’s 46-42 win over North Carolina.
King was named the conference’s quarterback of the week after four touchdown passes and 377 yards of total offense against the Tar Heels. He passed for 287 yards and rushed for 90, including a 52-yard run in the fourth quarter that set up a game-winning 5-yard touchdown pass to tight end Brett Seither with 4:28 to go in the game.
King led Georgia Tech to scores on seven of its final nine possessions of the game, including three straight touchdown drives of 75 yards or more in the fourth quarter.
His 377 yards of total offense were the 11th-most in Tech history while his 76.7 completion percentage was the second-highest in program history for a passer with at least 30 attempts. King became the second quarterback in Tech history to throw at least four touchdown passes three times in a season joining Joe Hamilton in 1999 who did it three times that season.
King was also named Monday to the Davey O’Brien Award Great 8 and the Manning Award Stars of the Week list for Week 9 of the season. Both awards recognize the nation’s top quarterbacks of the week.
Franklin anchored an offensive front that paved the way for Tech to rush for 348 yards, including 246 in the fourth quarter alone, and that did not allow a sack. The center was especially impressive in the Jackets’ dominant fourth quarter as two of the biggest plays of the period, a 70-yard touchdown run by Dontae Smith and a 52-yard run by King, came on middle runs that followed key blocks from Franklin.
According to Pro Football Focus, Franklin was Tech’s second-highest graded offensive lineman in the win and highest-graded run blocker.

Yeah, but we kneed to win.Why didn't he get 100!?!?!? He only needed 10 yards. We wasted that time at the end of the game taking a knee when we could have had him run it a few more times. We had a solid 4 point lead and 50 seconds to get him over 100 yards. I swear our coaches stink
Did I dream that earlier this year some other team's coach stated he was going to offer Singleton more NIL money to leave GT and come play for his school? Was that a bad dream, or did some coach actually say that?
- Singleton is now Tech’s highest-graded offensive player overall this season, according to Pro Football Focus. Safety Clayton Powell-Lee is the team’s top defensive player and safety Jaylon King is the Jackets’ top special teams performer.
We are in dire need of an ambassador in this situation.Did I dream that earlier this year some other team's coach stated he was going to offer Singleton more NIL money to leave GT and come play for his school? Was that a bad dream, or did some coach actually say that?
Me too about 72. I was tough on him when he faced war daddy DT.I have been critical of #72, but this was well deserved. He and the rest of line played their butts off. Kudos to the line
