No Tech players will miss the Orange Bowl due to grades earned this semester, which is the good news for the Yellow Jackets.
The better news for Tech is that the team earned a 2.74 GPA, the team’s highest in the past decade. Tech athletes overall earned a 3.01 GPA, the highest on record.

There were 31 football players who made dean’s list, including five players who have started games this season – defensive linemen Patrick Gamble, Roderick Rook-Chungong and Tyler Stargel, long snapper Trevor Stroebel and cornerback D.J. White.

No fewer than 13 were first-year freshmen – defensive backs Lance and Lawrence Austin, Step Durham, Jalen Johnson, Shaun Kagawa and Josh Selembo, quarterback Matthew Jordan, offensive lineman Cheyenne Hunt, Trey Klock and Andrew Marshall, B-back C.J. Leggett, linebacker Terrell Lewis, defensive lineman Antonio Simmons.

Deserving of notice: Academic services director Chris Breen, who oversees academic advising for the football team. Said coach Paul Johnson, “Chris Breen does a great job with those guys.”

The good news keeps on coming in! 31 players making the Dean's List isa quite an accomplishment.

It would be interesting to see other P5 schools share this information. I bet if this was a published measure, it would result in a lot of attention.
