Georgia Tech Spring Football Depth Chart Projections: Offensive Tackle
It is no secret that the offensive line was not a strength for Georgia Tech last season, but it was a young unit and the majority of the snaps are going to be returning for the upcoming season. I think because the unit was poor last season, all positions could face competition and no job should be safe. This group is going to have a new coach as well. Geep Wade spent last season as the offensive line coach at App State.
Let's take a closer look at the offensive tackles today.
Last season, Corey Robinson II started every game at left tackle and I would anticipate him being the starter this spring. Last season was Robinson's first as a starter after transferring from Kansas and there is no doubt he could improve from last season and be a rock-solid starter for the Yellow Jackets. His development is going to be key for Georgia Tech this spring and fall.

Right tackle is going to be an interesting position to follow this spring. Jordan Williams started the first nine games at right tackle but was moved inside to right guard for the final three games and Jakiah Leftwich took over as the starting right tackle. It is going to be interesting to see how Wade and Brent Key manage this position and if Williams is now going to be a guard. If so, I think Leftwich will remain the starter at right tackle.
Who could challenge for these starting jobs?
Tyler Gibson saw some action for the Yellow Jackets last season and I am interested in his improvement as a redshirt freshman. Wing Green could be in the mix too. Another name to know for this group is true freshman Benjamin Galloway, but he was not an early enrollee. Galloway is a talented player, but it will be tough to push for playing time and not be around for the spring. Ethan Mackenny is another true freshman that won't be at Tech until the summer.
Projected Georgia Tech Offensive Tackle Depth Chart For Spring
Left Tackle
1. Corey Robinson II
2. Tyler Gibson
Right Tackle
1. Jakiah Leftwich
2. Wing Green
This is assuming that Williams remains on guard. I think Leftwich will get the head start, as will Robinson at left tackle. Again, this unit as a whole underperformed last season and was one of the worst in the ACC. It would not surprise me to see some surprise starters at positions upfront and I am sure there will be plenty of reps to go around this spring.
