Gore is not unfamiliar with Atlanta, having played at Georgia State before transferring to Miami.

Defensive line was arguably the biggest position that Georgia Tech needed to address this spring and they have made some impact additions. They will be tasked with trying to turn around one of the country's worst run defenses. If the defensive line and run defense make a big jump, this team could be a dark horse for an ACC Championship spot.
