Georgia Tech QB Uncertainty in ACC | Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets Football News
Description
The ACC’s 2026 quarterback race is wide open, with 12 teams switching starters—only five holding onto Week One QBs from last year. Georgia Tech, one of those teams, enters the season with the nation’s least experienced QB room: none of their four scholarship QBs have ever started a game. Alberto Mendoza, with limited game action, is the only one with real reps—and he’s expected to manage the offense with poise and mobility, even without the dual-threat flair of former starter Haynes King. While Mendoza’s inexperience and a shaky supporting cast (new OC, unproven receivers, three new OL starters) raise red flags, his spring performance hints at potential. With the ACC’s QB depth uncertain and top names like Miami’s Darian Mensah and SMU’s Kevin Jennings unproven, Georgia Tech’s gamble on Mendoza could pay off—if everything else clicks.
