Georgia Tech will have to make a change at quarterback. Haynes King is suffering from an upper-body injury, and he won’t be good to go against Notre Dame this weekend.
Instead, Zach Pyron will start in place of the injured King against the 12th-ranked Fighting Irish.
“Georgia Tech will be without star quarterback Haynes King against No. 12 Notre Dame this weekend, giving veteran back-up Zach Pyron his third career start,” ESPN’s Pete Thamel said. “King has been ‘day-to-day’ with an upper-body injury.”

King stands out with a 71.2 percent mark in completion percentage in 2024. The former Aggie quarterback has also thrown for 1,568 yards, eight touchdowns, and only one interception this season.
The inexperienced Pyron, making just his third start, will get the nod against the 12th-ranked Irish. Any loss for Notre Dame might impact their College Football Playoff aspirations. Georgia Tech could still provide a challenge with, but it may be more difficult now.

Not overly surprising, but definitely disappointing. https://t.co/B2VDxNtvEY

W/ the number of former Domers that have transferred to GT, keeping King’s health status unknown was always a fool’s errand. https://t.co/5JTBUbWCId
