Plenty of position battles to watch in Georgia Tech spring game

Georgia Tech concludes its spring at noon Saturday at Bobby Dodd Stadium. Here are three storylines to follow with the Yellow Jackets in their spring game:

1. The secondary. This was the first group Paul Johnson mentioned Wednesday on the ACC teleconference when asked about position battles. The Jackets lost all four starters from last season due to graduation, but they do have a handful of underclassmen defensive backs with plenty of playing experience.

“Lance Austin and Step Durham have both played a little bit; Lamont Simmons is a transfer from Southern Cal who sat out last year who I think brings some ability, and then Meiko Dotson and Dorian Walker, two freshmen that we redshirted a year ago, and they're competing,” Johnson said.
