There was no update Wednesday regarding Georgia Tech defensive lineman Jabari Hunt-Days’ eligibility for the Orange Bowl.

“Still waiting on the grades,” coach Paul Johnson said following the Yellow Jackets’ practice.

Hunt-Days was declared academically ineligible in May following the spring semester for falling behind an NCAA checkpoint measuring progress towards graduation. Hunt-Days has practiced with the team this season, serving on the defensive scout team. He could regain eligibility for the bowl game with sufficient progress towards graduation.
