Georgia Tech spring practice preview: A-backs

A look at Georgia Tech’s position groups going into spring practice, which begins March 28.

A-backs

Returning: Redshirt freshman Nate Cottrell, junior J.J. Green, redshirt freshman Omahri Jarrett, sophomore Mikell Lands-Davis, senior Lynn Griffin, sophomore Clinton Lynch, sophomore TaQuon Marshall, sophomore Qua Searcy, senior Isiah Willis

Lost: Broderick Snoddy

Incoming: Xavier Gantt

Overview

Tech will bring back 89 percent of A-back touches (carries and receptions), losing only Snoddy’s 21 combined rushing attempts and receptions. It’s a bit different than the situation from the 2015 season, when Snoddy and Willis were the sole A-back returnees who had touched the ball in 2014 and constituted 15 percent of all A-back carries and receptions.
