This game &amp; <a href="https://twitter.com/kyle_efford?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@kyle_efford</a> is playing LB like it should be played. Old school neck roll or cowboy collar ….love it. <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/FSUvsGT?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#FSUvsGT</a>

I think it is safe to say that <a href="https://twitter.com/kyle_efford?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@kyle_efford</a> is all of our favorite LB now.

Efford registered 10 tackles in the upset victory, a mark that was tops among all Yellow Jacket defenders. He also led the team in tackles in 2023 despite only starting the second half of the season.

The victory disrupts the Seminoles' season but also has Georgia Tech looking like a team that could make some noise in the ACC. The Yellow Jackets went 7-6 in 2023 and won the Gasparilla Bowl. That was the program's first time reaching bowl eligibility since 2018.
