There were slight adjustments to Georgia Tech’s “Above the Line” chart for the Yellow Jackets' game against No. 1 Clemson on Saturday, all along the defensive line. The chart was released Thursday night.
With defensive end Sylvain Yondjouen out for the season with an injury, freshman Kyle Kennard was elevated into the chart for the first time this season. Notable in his absence is end Curtis Ryans, who returned to action against Louisville on Friday after a two-game absence, but is not on the list this week.
At defensive tackle, Jahaziel Lee, who was on the chart for the first four games and has appeared in all four games this season, is not on the chart. However, Justice Dingle, who was on the chart for the first two games of the season at defensive end, but was not on it for the next two, has reappeared at defensive tackle.
Before the Louisville game, defensive coordinator Andrew Thacker said that Dingle was playing at both end and tackle and was working hard in practice, and that “he needs to prove every single day that he’s reliable at doing his job” to make the ATL chart.
