Former Georgia Tech defensive lineman Zeek Biggers and former Tech tight end Jackson Hawes have accepted invitations to participate in the NFL Scouting Combine, scheduled for Feb. 24-March 3 in Indianapolis.

Biggers, a 6-foot-6, 320-pound defensive tackle, totaled 104 tackles (including nine for loss and two sacks) in four seasons as a Yellow Jacket. He played in 47 games and made 26 consecutive starts over the past two seasons. Biggers was an all-ACC an honorable-mention selection in 2024.

Biggers took part in the East-West Shrine Bowl in Arlington, Texas, in January, but did not play in the game. He played in nearly 400 snaps this season, and his best game, according to Pro Football Focus, was against national runner-up Notre Dame in October.

Hawes, a 6-foot-5, 260-pound tight end, caught 51 passes for 566 yards and six touchdowns over his collegiate career which began with three seasons at Yale (2021-23) before he transferred to Tech. Hawes played 515 offensive snaps this past season and was graded by Pro Football Focus as one of the Jackets’ top run blockers in both run plays and pass protection.

Hawes represented Tech in the Senior Bowl this month, but did not play in the contest.

Biggers and Hawes become the 27th and 28th prospects to represent Tech at the combine since 2009.
