Notes, quotes from Brent Key's 9/15 press conference

Georgia Tech is two games into the 2026 season and in a spot head coach Brent Key, his staff and his players certainly didn't expect to be -- 0-2.

Fellowship Christian School coach John Thompson doesn't hold back when talking about Josh Petty. "Josh has got it," Thompson told DawgNation.com. "That 'it' if you know what I mean. It is like Bobby Bowden said whatever that 'it' is Josh has got that." Thompson should know what it takes to be a star. His coaching resume includes stops as the defensive coordinator at Arkansas, Florida, Ole Miss and South Carolina. He was also the head coach at East Carolina for two seasons and was Georgia State’s first defensive coordinator in 2008. So, it means even more to hear Thompson brag about Petty – who excels in football, marching band, debate and on the wrestling mat. “He’s the real deal,” Thompson said. “What you see right here is that he’s got a little bit of everything in him. He’s fun to be around. He can take hard coaching. He knows how to step up and when it is time to step up.”

Like Andre Dillard, Josh Petty is an athletic, developmental offensive lineman with upside. Both were quite lean as high school prospects. Dillard may be a touch longer than Petty. 

Not enough on film yet to project a level. Add more game film and verified measurables to unlock a full projection.

Scholarship traits at the FCS level, with room to climb through continued development and film.

Starter-caliber traits for a Power 4 program (SEC, Big Ten, Big 12, ACC). Squarely on major-conference radars.

The top of the scale — national-caliber talent that every major program pursues, with a clear NFL trajectory.

Elite / Top 100

Athletic, physical offensive lineman with positional versatility. Measured in at 6-foot-4, 255 pounds with 33-inch arms prior to his senior season. Two-way standout working at offensive tackle and defensive end for his high school. Shows high-end movement skills. Easily works to the second level. Light on his feet and moves with fluidity. Operates with a high level of conditioning playing on both sides of the ball. Good enough of an athlete to play on defense in college, though his upside is highest on the offensive line. Plays with a high effort level and physicality. Works to finish blocks with authority, driving defensive linemen to the sideline at times. Shows strong flexibility and core strength, coming off the ball low and firing through his hips. More advanced as a run blocker than pass protector at this time, but has the athletic ability to pass block at a high level with further development.  A strong wrestler, finishing as a state champion and state runner-up in back-to-back years. Also threw the shot put with a personal best of 40-8.5 feet as a sophomore. Faces a lower classification of competition at the high school level. Will need to continue adding good mass to his frame and lost weight from his sophomore to junior year. Younger for the cycle, with an August birthday. Could feasibly be a 2026 prospect from an age perspective. Could ultimately project at tackle or slide inside, but may project best inside given his skill set and dimensions. Skill set could particularly project well as a potential center.
