[QUOTE="Bruce Wayne, post: 121019, member: 231"] I should have placed this info in the first post but Bostic is also part of one of the highest academically [URL='http://georgiatech.blog.ajc.com/2014/12/19/tech-seniors-achieving-in-classroom/']achieving [/URL]classes seen at Tech. He also shows off his maturity and thoughtfulness in a great interview and [URL='http://m.chronicle.augusta.com/sports/college/2014-11-27/michaux-bj-bostic-hopes-check-georgia-list#gsc.tab=0']article [/URL]put out by Scott Michaux for The Augusta Chronicle. Here are some highlights: On the end of his time at Tech: "I’m dreading the end of it but at the same time so anxious to see what’s ahead of me as far as life, too,” Bostic said. “Interested to see what life throws at me. I’m ready for it.” On his role on an offense where he averaged "fewer than two touches a game": “I’m not disappointed,” he said of his diminished offensive output. “Everybody has their role and I see myself as a good perimeter blocker. So my role this year has kind of been leading the way on the perimeter.” That is from a FOUR STAR out of high school with a slew of big offers. On his lone collegiate touchdown after having scored 17 rushing as a Senior in HS along with throwing for 17 TDs as his teams QB and even catching 4 TD passes at WR (that is a total of 38 TDs he was involved with in just his senior season): Bostic calls his lone collegiate touchdown his personal high point. “It was a long, long time,” he said of the five years between scores. “I do it in practice but to do it in a game is so much different – it sends chills down your body, the fans screaming. It’s a real exciting moment.” Bostic forgot to keep the ball he scored with. “I was too excited and threw it down after I got in,” he said with a laugh. If anyone has that ball be sure to get it to him. :) Again demonstrating the perspective that allowed his team in his senior year to be so special: Bostic is more about the team goals than his own. “It does not matter to (the A-backs) as a group because we’re unselfish guys – as long as we’re winning, moving the ball, getting first downs, we’re happy,” he said. And again on having the right priorities: “It’s a little surreal that everything is winding down,” he admitted. “Most important thing is that I got my degree and I walk in December.” But don't forget that there are "priorities" and then there are . . . [I]priorities[/I]: It would be particularly sweet to pull off the upset between the hedges Saturday so he can hold his head high in his native “Dog country” whenever he comes home to Louisville, Ga. “I want to check it off and get that burden off my back,” he said. Congratulations B.J., you did just that! [/QUOTE]
