Taje McCoy’s Sack Rate Is The Only Hope For Georgia Tech Defense

Georgia Tech's defense is struggling on the ground, ranking near the bottom of the nation, yet their pass defense is solidly in the top half. Taje McCoy is the only player making a significant impact, recording high tackle numbers and a top-tier pass rush grade. Head Coach Brent Key views McCoy as a "pleasant surprise" and believes his enthusiasm and work ethic are contagious throughout the team.

With the defensive overhaul needed, McCoy's performance could be the spark the Yellow Jackets need to stay competitive in their challenging schedule.
