In addition to earning all-ACC academic team honors, Fusile and Thomas both earned bachelor’s degrees from Georgia Tech last semester.
As a team, Georgia Tech football shattered its previous record with a 3.17 GPA last semester. Prior to the fall semester, Tech football’s record GPA was 3.03 (spring 2025) and its highest in-season GPA was 3.00 (fall 2024).
Georgia Tech football also boasts a 93% NCAA Graduation Success Rate, which far outpaces the NCAA Division I FBS average of 84%
On the field, the Yellow Jackets’ eight all-ACC academic team honorees helped lead Georgia Tech to a 9-4 record (tied for the 10th-most victories in Tech’s 133-season football history) and No. 24 final national ranking in 2025. The Jackets rose to as high as No. 7 in the national rankings in ‘25 and were ranked in the final 14 national polls of the season, which is their longest streak since Tech was ranked in all 16 polls in 1999.
Georgia Tech also went 6-2 in Atlantic Coast Conference play, which was good for a tie for second place in the 17-team conference. The Yellow Jackets are the only ACC team that has finished in the top four of the conference standings each of the last three seasons.
The Jackets are currently in the midst of offseason workouts in preparation for the 2026 season. Spring practice opens on March 10, with Georgia Tech’s annual White and Gold spring game set for Saturday, April 18 at Bobby Dodd Stadium at Hyundai Field.
