Georgia Tech's Dual-Threat QB with Elite Speed and ACC Rushing Dominance
Haynes King is a rare dual-threat quarterback for Georgia Tech who combines a 71.2% completion rate with 484 rushing yards and 9 rushing touchdowns (3rd in ACC), making him the league's top ground-scoring QB midseason[1]. His differentiators include elite speed (4.47s 40-yard dash, 2nd-fastest among QBs)[7], a lean sinewy build with big hands, and a multi-sport background (basketball, discus, 4x400 relay)[8]. Though he missed Georgia Tech's 59-12 opener due to a nagging lower-body injury[2], his intensity and leadership propelled the team to 9 wins in 2025 (first time in program history)[4]. King's 72.9% completion rate was highest among returning starters in 2025, and his UQBR of 152.11 ranked 4th nationally[5]. You should care because he's college football's most underrated QB with NFL-ready athleticism; he's a perfect fit for any team needing a dynamic, high-intensity QB who can score on the ground and air. Signed as an undrafted free agent by the Carolina Panthers in 2026, he's now an active NFL rookie[3][6].
