THE FLATS – College football’s all-star game season has begun and five of Georgia Tech’s top professional football prospects have accepted invitations to represent the Yellow Jackets in games across the country this month.
Hula Bowl (Deland, Fla.)
Saturday, Jan. 10 – Noon
TE J.T. Byrne (6-5, 265, Carmel-by-the-Sea, Calif./Carmel H.S.)
East-West Shrine Bowl (Frisco, Texas)
Tuesday, Jan. 27 – 7 p.m. ET (TV: NFL Network)
DB Ahmari Harvey (6-0, 195, Tallahassee, Fla./Florida State University School)
QB Haynes King (6-3, 215, Longview, Texas/Longview H.S.)
WR Eric Rivers (5-11, 180, Chattanooga, Tenn./McCallie School)
Senior Bowl (Mobile, Ala.)
Saturday, Jan. 31 – 2:30 p.m. ET (TV: NFL Network)
OL Keylan Rutledge (6-4, 330, Royston, Ga./Franklin County H.S.)
Georgia Tech’s five all-star game participants are tied for its most in a single season since six Yellow Jackets earned all-star game invites following the 2013 season (Tech also had five all-star game participants following the 2014 and 2022 seasons). Byrne is the 23rd Yellow Jacket to participate in the Hula Bowl, including the fifth in the last five years. Harvey, King and Rivers give Georgia Tech 33 all-time representatives in the East-West Shrine Game, including seven in the last five years. Rutledge is the 62nd Jacket to earn a Senior Bowl invitation and the fourth in the last five years.
College football all-star games give prospects the opportunity to meet with and practice in front of scouts, front-office personnel and coaches from professional organizations – including all 32 National Football League teams – throughout this week.
Georgia Tech’s pro prospects helped lead the Yellow Jackets to a 9-4 record in 2025, which is tied for the 10th-most victories in Tech’s 133-season history. Tech went 6-2 in ACC play, good for a tie for second place in the 17-team conference. The Jackets are the only ACC team that has finished in the top four of the conference standings each of the last three seasons.
