DEFENSIVE BACK – Juanyeh Thomas, Georgia Tech, Jr., S, Niceville, Fla.
Turned in an impressive all-around defensive performance with nine tackles, a sack, 1.5 tackles for loss, a forced fumble (which was returned for a touchdown) and 100-yard interception return for a defensive two-point conversion in Georgia Tech’s narrow 33-30 loss at Miami • Became the first NCAA Division I FBS player since 2015 and the first ACC player since 2008 to record at least nine tackles, a sack, 1.5 tackles for loss and a forced fumble while also scoring in a game • Scored the rare defensive two-point conversion by intercepting a pass on Miami’s attempt and weaving through a maze of would-be tacklers for a 100-yard return in the fourth quarter.
