Georgia Tech Releases Depth Chart Ahead of Week Four Game vs Stanford

Georgia Tech picked up its first win of the season this past Saturday when they took down Mercer, and now they are turning the page to their ACC opener in week four. For the first time in school history, Georgia Tech is traveling to Stanford to face the Cardinal in what will be the third all-time meeting between the two programs. The Yellow Jackets are 2-0 all-time against Stanford, winning the 2001 Seattle Bowl and the 1991 Aloha Bowl.

Ahead of this Saturday's game, Georgia Tech has released its depth chart for the upcoming game and there are no changes to note ahead of week four.

Offense

Position	Starter	Backups
QB	Alberto Mendoza	Grady Adamson
RB	Justice Haynes	Shane Marshall
RB	Malachi Hosley	J.P. Powell
RB	Trelain Maddox	Chad Alexander
WR	Jordan Allen	Coi Jean-Noel
WR	Isaiah Fuhrmann	Debron Gatling
WR	Dalen Penson	Rahkeem Smith
TE	Chris Corbo or Spencer Mermans
TE	Gavin Harris or Kevin Roche Jr
LT	Ethan Mackenny	Markell Samuel
LG	Kevin Peay Jr	Courtney Heard
C	Jameson Riggs	Will Reed
RG	Joseph Ionata	Courtlin Heard
RT	Malachi Carney	Jordan Floyd

Now, there are going to be some things to monitor this week for Georgia Tech, particularly along the offensive line. In the game on Saturday against Mercer, Ethan Mackenny did not play, despite being listed on the depth chart last week. Jameson Riggs also did not play and Jordan Floyd and Will Reed stepped in to start for both of them. Will that be the case this week as well?

The rest is the same. Alberto Mendoza is going to be the starter at quarterback and he is going to be facing the worst passing defense in the ACC this weekend. It could be a chance to have a big game for him and his receivers.

When it comes to the receivers and tight ends, I would expect things to remain the same. Jordan Allen, Dalen Penson, and Kevin Roche Jr have been the top targets for Mendoza this season and all three could have big games if the offensive line can protect Mendoza.

Defense

Position	Starter	Backup
DE	Noah Carter or Taje McCoy or Amontrae Bradford or Brayden Manley
DT	Tawfiq Thomas or Christian Garrett	Amier Clarke
DT	Vincent Carroll-Jackson or Shymeik Jones	Christian Speakman
DE	Jordan Walker or Jordan Boyd or A.J. Hoffler or Amontrae Bradford
LB	Kyle Efford	CJ Gamble
LB	E.J. Lightsey	Melvin Jordan IV
LB	Cayman Spaulding	Braylon Outlaw
Nickle	Kelvin HIll	Jonas Duclona
Safety	Savion Riley	Kealan Jones or Fenix Felton
Safety	Tae Harris	Chris Hewitt Jr or Fenix Felton
Cornerback	Daiquan White	Zachary Tobe
Cornerback	Jaylen Mbakwe	Trae Stevenson Jr

There are going to be a couple of injuries to watch this week ahead of the Stanford game. Jaylen Mbakwe and Kyle Efford did not play on Saturday against Mercer and their status is unknown for Saturday's game vs Stanford.

The defensive line had a solid game against the Bears on Saturday. Tawfiq Thomas, Taje McCoy, and Noah Carter had solid games on Saturday and the defense was able to rack up 10 TFLs and three sakcs. Can they do that again this weekend?

The run defense has of course been a sore spot for Georgia Tech this season and the Yellow Jackets are still in the process of solving that problem. With Efford out, they did use Cayman Spaulding more, as well as both freshmen linebackers Braylon Outlaw and CJ Gameble, who had an interception against Mercer.
