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.

A giant left tackle prospect on the rise south of Atlanta, Speakman brings a massive 6-foot-4 320-pound frame and moves extremely well for his size. He was a reliable pass protector on the left side and consistently buried defenders into the ground in the run game. He’s got a promising frame and uses his natural size and strength to easily over-power EDGE defenders and other defensive lineman in the area. He’ll be an easy addition to the next Prep Redzone rankings and earned a new offer this week from Jacksonville State. Look for more to come his way sooner than later.
