Where Does ESPN Rank Georgia Tech's Quarterback Situation Ahead Of The 2023 Season?

Georgia Tech has an ongoing quarterback battle heading into the season

Georgia Tech has an ongoing quarterback battle between Zach Pyron, Haynes King, and Zach Gibson and whoever wins is going to have a chance to stabilize a position where Georgia Tech needs stability.

So where does the quarterback situation for Georgia Tech stand? 

ESPN's David Hale ranked all 133 quarterback situations in the country and it was interesting to see where he had the Yellow Jackets ranked. 

Hale divided teams into tiers and for Georgia Tech, he put them in Tier 7, which he labeled "A fresh start offers cause for optimism (10 players, six jobs)".

The other quarterbacks grouped into Tier 7 included Auburn's, Payton Thorne or Robby Ashford, Houston's Donovan Smith or Lucas Coley, Louisville's Jack Plummer, Illinois's Luke Altmeyer, and Purdue's Hudson Card. 

Here is what Hale had to say about Georgia Tech's QB battle:

"King and Card are like the "Armageddon" and "Deep Impact" of Power 5 quarterbacks. They came out at the same time. They had more or less the same storyline of a QB trying to manage in a terrible situation at a Texas school. And honestly, nobody really enjoyed either experience. But hey, we like the idea of both of them finding new life on DVD and streaming. Or, you know, at Purdue and Georgia Tech."

Whoever wins the job is going to have a chance to take Georgia Tech to its first bowl game since 2018. They are going to have a new look supporting cast around them and a new play caller on offense. There is potential at the position, but there is still plenty to prove for all three quarterbacks.
