Georgia Tech’s secondary became the strength of the defense toward the end of the season and benefits by returning most of the unit. Clayton Powell-Lee didn’t begin the season as a starter last year as he was a true freshman but did finish the year strong earning six starts and having a 14-tackle game against FSU. In his first year, he would total 48 tackles, 2 pass breakups, an INT, and 2 fumble recoveries.
Clayton would be an integral part of the win over Virginia Tech as he would intercept a pass by Grant Wells as the Hokies crossed midfield hoping to put the game away late.
