Football season is getting closer and the ACC Media Days that are soon to take place in Charlotte are another reminder of that. Georgia Tech is going to be the first team at the podium on Monday after the Commissioners forum and head coach Brent Key, quarterback Haynes King, running back Jamal Haynes, and defensive tackle Zeek Biggers will be speaking to the media.

This is going to be the first appearance for King at Media Days. Heading into media days last season, King was in the midst of a quarterback battle with Zach Pyron and Zach Gibson. King won the battle and became one of the best quarterbacks in the ACC, as well as one of the best leaders. King displayed his leadership time and again for the Yellow Jackets last season and I expect that to be on full display on Monday. With King returning, Georgia Tech should have one of the ACC's best offenses and one of the best leaders in the entire ACC.

One of the nation’s top returning quarterbacks, King was one of only two Power Five players with at least 2,800 passing yards, 25 touchdown passes, 700 rushing yards and 10 rushing touchdowns in 2023, joining Heisman Trophy winner and eventual No. 2 pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, Jayden Daniels of LSU. King was also only the fourth ACC player since 2000 to amass those numbers, joining Clemson’s Deshaun Watson (2015), Virginia Tech’s Jerod Evans (2016) and Louisville’s Lamar Jackson (2016 and 2017).

Here is the schedule for the upcoming week in Charlotte:

Monday- Commissioner Jim Phillips, Florida State, Georgia Tech, SMU
