Three more Georgia Tech football staffers are heading to Gainesville, per Matt Zenitz of CBS Sports. They are, offensive analyst Emil Ekiyor, H-backs coach Dylan Dockery and assistant offensive line coach Mike Polly. They join offensive coordinator Buster Faulkner and assistant quarterbacks coach A.J. Erdely, who also have left Tech for UF.

Polly is a coaching veteran with 17 years of college experience. Before working at Georgia Tech, he spent 11 seasons at Middle Tennessee, as running backs coach (2013-15), offensive tackles/tight ends coach (2016-21) and offensive line coach (2022-23). From his Georgia Tech bio, “he also served as the Blue Raiders’ special teams coordinator from 2014-21 and run game coordinator from 2016-23.”

At MTSU, Polly coached 10 all-conference performers. One of them was two-time all-Conference USA offensive lineman Robert Jones, who is now a member of the Dallas Cowboys.

In addition to working with Faulkner at Georgia Tech, Polly coached with him at Murray State (2010) and Middle Tennessee (2013-15).

Ekiyor was an All-SEC offensive lineman for Alabama and played for the Tide from 2018-22. He made 40 starts at guard. Per his Jackets bio, “A three-year starter, he was named first-team all-SEC as a senior in 2022 and helped the Crimson Tide’s offensive front win the 2020 Joe Moore Award as the nation’s best offensive line.” At Georgia Tech, he was a quality control assistant working with the Yellow Jackets’ offensive line.

Dockery spent three seasons at Georgia Tech. He was named H-backs coach in 2024. Before that, he was as an offensive analyst in 2023. He also has experience as a graduate assistant at Appalachian State and Jacksonville State. Dockery played tight end at East Tennessee State from 2014-18. He made 23 starts and helped lead the Bucs to the Southern Conference championship in 2018.
