Georgia Tech Secures Shock Commitment: Class of 2026 QB Switches from Virginia Tech in Stunning Turnaround

So, Georgia Tech just handed Brent Key a shiny five-year contract extension—making it clear they’re betting big on this guy after a solid 9-3 season and an almost-there 6-2 showing in the ACC. But here’s a kicker: while they’re handing out raises, they’re also losing their offensive coordinator to Florida. That kind of shuffle could have fans asking, “Is this the calm before the storm or the calm before a breakthrough?” Still, the Yellow Jackets didn’t just stand still—they flipped a top Class of 2026 safety from Georgia and now snagged a promising QB recruit from Virginia Tech, Cole Bergeron. With Haynes King’s eligibility winding down, Bergeron might just be the fresh spark Georgia Tech’s been waiting for to keep climbing. So, can this mix of new blood and locked-in leadership push the Jackets past that elusive ACC title game slot? Time will tell. LEARN MORE

The Georgia Tech football program gave head coach Brent Key a five-year contract extension that earned him a significant bump in pay. The Yellow Jackets finished with a 9-3 record this year and a 6-2 mark in ACC play, falling just short of a trip to the ACC title game.

However, the Florida Gators recently hired Georgia Tech OC Buster Faulkner to join Jon Sumrall’s new staff in Gainesville. Georgia Tech also flipped Kealan Jones, a safety in the Class of 2026, after he initially committed to Georgia, so things are trending for the Yellow Jackets despite losing their OC.

On Friday, Georgia Tech landed a quarterback in the Class of 2026, according to Hayes Fawcett of Rivals/On3.

‘BREAKING: Class of 2026 QB Cole Bergeron has Committed to Georgia Tech, he tells me for @rivals. The 6’4 220 QB from Lafayette, LA was previously Committed to Virginia Tech.’

Rivals has Bergeron ranked as a three-star recruit, and he is from Louisiana. He had offers from Indiana, Minnesota, Colorado and UCLA, but he decided not to play for James Franklin at Virginia Tech and is now coming to Georgia Tech.

The Yellow Jackets have had Haynes King at QB for the past three years, but his eligibility is set to be finished after he spent three years previously at Texas A&M.

So, Bergeron is a solid commitment for the program and for head coach Brent Key as he tries to continue to win games going forward. Right now, Georgia Tech is waiting to see which bowl game it will play in while also working the recruiting trail.
