Key reloads at Georgia Tech by adding 19 players through the transfer portal, including QB Mendoza
Brent Key added 19 transfers, including Alberto Mendoza, as Georgia Tech looks to rebuild its offense and add size up front.
- Georgia Tech football coach Brent Key added 19 players through the transfer portal, headlined by Indiana backup quarterback Alberto Mendoza, who announced his transfer less than 24 hours after winning a national championship.
- After falling out of the AP Top 25 following four losses in five games, including defeats to Pittsburgh, Georgia and BYU in the Pop-Tarts Bowl, Key sought to strengthen the roster despite a 9-4 finish and third straight winning season.
- Key prioritized size, adding nine offensive and defensive linemen including five listed at more than 300 pounds, sourcing much from the Southeastern Conference: former Alabama defensive end Noah Carter, former Auburn offensive lineman Favour Edwin, former Alabama offensive lineman Joseph Ionata and former Alabama cornerback and wide receiver Jaylen Mbakwe.

- Georgia Tech's spring game Saturday will showcase the reloaded roster under new offensive coordinator George Godsey, a former Baltimore Ravens tight ends coach, with former Alabama and Michigan running back Justice Haynes potentially anchoring the new-look offense.
