THE FLATS – Three of Georgia Tech’s top professional football prospects – defensive lineman Zeek Biggers (Salisbury, N.C./West Rowan H.S.), offensive lineman Jordan Williams (Gainesville, Ga./Gainesville H.S.) and tight end Jackson Hawes (Salt Lake City, Utah/Highland H.S.) – are set to play in college football’s most prestigious all-star games this weekend. Biggers and Williams will take the field in Thursday’s East-West Shrine Bowl (8 p.m. ET, Arlington, Texas – AT&T Stadium) and Hawes will play in Saturday’s Senior Bowl (2:30 p.m. ET – Mobile, Ala. – Hancock Whitney Stadium).
Both games have given the Yellow Jackets’ trio the opportunity to meet with and practice in front of scouts, front-office personnel and coaches from all 32 National Football League teams throughout this week.

Georgia Tech TE Jackson Hawes makes EDGE Shemar Stewart disappear on this rep. So much so that the RT has no one to block. Incredibly impressive considering the day that Stewart had. #SeniorBowl pic.twitter.com/my4TqLKzeo

Nice block here by Georgia Tech TE Jackson Hawes that helps spring this run outside.

Biggers, a 6-foot-6, 320-pound defensive tackle, racked up 104 tackles (including nine for loss and two sacks) in four seasons as a Yellow Jacket. He played in 47 games over his four years at Tech, including 26-straight starts over the last two seasons, and was an honorable-mention all-Atlantic Coast Conference selection as a senior in 2024. He will play for the East team in Thursday’s Shrine Bowl.
Williams, a 6-foot-6, 315-pounder that played both guard and tackle over the course of his five seasons as a Jacket. He is Georgia Tech’s all-time leader with 53 career starts and has been an integral cog in helping pave the way for Tech to rank among the top 35 nationally in rushing offense (12th in 2023, 32nd in 2024) and the top 15 in fewest sacks allowed (15th in 2023, third in 2024) each of the last two seasons. He joins Biggers on the Shrine Bowl’s East squad, which is coached by Atlanta Falcons special teams coordinator Marquice Williams.
Hawes, a 6-foot-5, 260-pound tight end, caught 51 passes for 566 yards and six touchdowns over his four-year collegiate career, which began with three seasons at Yale (2021-23) before he transferred to Georgia Tech for his fourth and final season in 2024. In addition to his pass-catching ability, he is widely regarded as one of the best blocking tight ends in the nation, and played a big role in the Jackets’ success running the ball and protecting the passer last season. He is on the American roster for Saturday’s Senior Bowl, which is coached by Cleveland Browns assistant head coach Bubba Ventrone.
The East-West Shrine Bowl and Senior Bowl will both be televised live on NFL Network.
