Tech's RB Duo on Doak Watch | Yellow Jackets Basketball News

Author: The Daily News Now! August 18, 2026 Duration: 1:45

Georgia Tech’s running backs Justice Haynes and Malachi Hosley are heating up the preseason spotlight, both earning Doak Walker Award watch list honors — a rare feat for a program with only seven schools boasting two players. Last season, they were among just eight runners nationwide averaging over seven yards per carry, with Hosley sixth nationally and Haynes right behind him. Haynes, a transfer from Michigan, exploded for over 122 yards and 10 TDs in limited action, while Hosley racked up nearly 700 yards and 7 TDs, earning ACC honorable mention. Together, they form a lethal one-two punch poised to carry the Yellow Jackets into a loaded schedule featuring Tennessee and Duke. With their season opener against Colorado on Sept. 3, the nation will be watching to see if these elite rushers can lead GT to another top-25 finish and maybe even snag that coveted Doak Walker trophy.
