Fortson was a member of the 2022 recruiting class, but only made one appearance last season vs Virginia. Georgia Tech is bringing back four of their five starters on the offensive line, a unit that helped lead the ACC in rushing. Georgia Tech picked up an offensive line transfer earlier this spring when former Kentucky offensive lineman Nick Pearson picked the Yellow Jackets as his new school.

Tulane hired former Troy head coach Jon Sumrall to replace Willie Fritz and he is hoping to keep the Green Wave a winning program, as they have been for the past couple of seasons.
