Georgia Tech's RBs: College Football's Best Duo?

The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets' running back position is a focal point as fall camp approaches. Justice Haynes and Malachi Hosley, who have declared themselves the premier duo in college football, are set to demonstrate their capabilities. In 2025, both averaged over seven yards per carry, presenting a unique challenge for opponents.

J.P. Powell is anticipated to emerge as an underrated asset. His productive spring suggests he could become a key change-of-pace player, with potential to contribute significantly in the passing game. His versatility makes him a valuable component for the offense.

The overall depth of the running back room is a significant advantage for Georgia Tech. With at least five to six players capable of contributing, the unit is considered one of the deepest on the team. Players like Chad Alexander and Powell excel as receivers, while Haynes and Hosley provide explosive rushing. Maddox and Marshall are suited for short-yardage and red zone situations.
