Speakman was a late pickup in Georgia Tech’s 2026 class, but has the skillset to grow into one of their best pickups on the defensive front. His elite, mountain-moving play strength flashes on each side of the ball, and on special teams in FG block. He generates easy push in the face of QBs, but he is quick on his feet and has some juice at the point of attack. He isn’t just strong; he is also active, and I think he clearly has the combination of strength and juice to contribute in the ACC, especially as an interior disruptor.
