The buzz surrounding Georgia Tech football heading into the 2025 season continues to build as standout offensive lineman Keylan Rutledge receives national recognition. On Monday, the Associated Press (AP) released its Preseason All-American team, naming Rutledge a Second-Team All-American at guard.

Rutledge’s inclusion highlights the strength and experience of Georgia Tech’s offensive line as the Yellow Jackets look to make a significant impact in the ACC this fall. The senior right guard has been a key anchor for the offense, and he is expected to play a crucial role in 2025.

This AP preseason honor adds to the growing optimism around the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets football program, which has seen several key players earn preseason accolades.

Fans and analysts alike are watching Rutledge and the Jackets closely as the 2025 college football season approaches.

Rutledge made the preseason watch lists for the Lombardi Award (top linebacker/lineman who embodies the spirit of Vince Lombardi) and the Outland Trophy (nation’s top interior lineman), as the preseason first-team All-ACC by the ACC media.
