Georgia Tech Offers Scholarships to Sons of Lane Kiffin and Kirby Smart

Overview

• Georgia Tech extended scholarship offers to quarterbacks Knox Kiffin (class of 2028) and Andrew Smart (class of 2030), with Knox confirming the offer on X and the Andrew Smart offer reported by Jackets Online while Smart competed at a Georgia Tech 7-on-7 event on Thursday.
• Knox Kiffin is a ranked 2028 prospect who has previous Power Four offers from programs including Washington and Cal and who transferred to University Lab School after following his father to Baton Rouge.
• Andrew Smart is entering freshman year at Athens Academy and received the offer while at Georgia Tech’s indoor facility, a moment captured on social media that included a photo of him speaking with coach Brent Key.
• The offers carry rivalry optics because Andrew is the son of Georgia head coach Kirby Smart and Knox is the son of LSU coach Lane Kiffin, and outlets frame the moves as part of Key's visible, aggressive early recruiting strategy.
• Neither prospect has committed to Georgia Tech and the next steps to watch are official visits and follow-up recruiting contacts that will show whether these early offers translate into interest or future pledges.
