I'm guessing it was … Tim Byerly. Am I right?
The weird thing here is that, despite their absolutely unbelievable senior seasons (Tim was national high school player of the year), neither of them got a lot of recruiting attention. Tech and the academies were the only offers at major schools that Laskey got (we look for the same thing to this day) and Tim's ended up at MTSU, of all places. I nearly went down to Coach's office to bless him out for that. Tim may not have been fast or particularly big or have a strong arm or any of the rest of the "measurables", but there was never a QB in Georgia history who could rough up an opponent like he did. He never looked like he was doing much. Then you'd look at his stats and realize that he had cut the other side up like sausage and won the game almost by himself. If Tech had taken him after his senior year, JT would never have come here; Tim would have been winning, as usual.
