Brown will add speed and explosiveness to the Yellow Jackets’ offense under first-year head coach Brent Key. Last season Georgia Tech finished as the 105th-ranked offense but did finish the season on a positive note going 4-4 in their last eight games, including road wins over Pittsburgh and North Carolina. Georgia Tech will look to build off its season-ending success and compete for an ACC division title and conference championship.

The six-foot-five 190-pound receiver was a three-star prospect out of Olympia High School in Orlando, FL who began his career at the University of Ohio in August of 2018 before later joining Coach Prime at Jackson State in January of 2021. Shane thrived during his time with Coach Prime and became one of the top receivers in the portal. His size and radius make him extremely tough to cover in one on one situations and cause mismatches all over the field. With Coach Freeze coming to Auburn, there is no doubt that Hooks can become a star in the offense and be one of the leading receivers on the team.
