Jahaziel Lee started at left tackle for Georgia Tech in Saturday’s game against Georgia Southern at Bobby Dodd Stadium

Lee is the second freshman to start on the line this season after Parker Braun started at left guard in last week's loss at Pittsburgh. Both started on Saturday, giving Tech an all-freshmen left side of the line.

The Yellow Jackets' offensive line has been decimated by injuries this season . Earlier this week, coach Paul Johnson said five contributors were expected to miss at least one day of practice.

Trey Klock and Shamire Devine have been battling injuries, as has Andrew Marshall.

Lee is 6-2, 267 pounds.
