Georgia Tech has added one of the top running backs in the transfer portal.
Former Michigan and Alabama running back Justice Haynes has signed with the Yellow Jackets, per multiple reports. Haynes was well on his way to a 1,000-yard season for the Wolverines in 2025 before he was sidelined by injury. Haynes rushed for 857 yards on 121 carries while scoring 10 touchdowns across just seven games.

Haynes had 26 carries for 152 yards and two scores in Michigan’s 31-20 win over Michigan State on Oct. 25. That ended up being his last game of the season because of a foot injury.
He spent just one season at Michigan after spending the first two seasons of his career with the Crimson Tide. Haynes rushed 104 times for 616 yards and nine scores in his first two years of college football.
At Georgia Tech, Haynes will be a focal point of an overhauled offense as the Yellow Jackets look to repeat their 2025 success. QB Haynes King is out of eligibility and offensive coordinator Buster Faulkner took the same position at Florida. Backup QB Aaron Philo also transferred to the Gators.
Junior Malachi Hosley was the team’s leading running back in 2025 with 98 carries for 697 yards and seven scores. King was GT’s do-it-all player; he rushed for over 950 yards and 15 scores while throwing for over 2,950 yards.
