Long after the lights are out and the fans have gone home, former Georgia Tech running back Eddie Lee Ivery walks off the field like he’s done many times before, only this time as a coach at Thomson High School. It’s been more than 31 years since Ivery last played for the Ramblin’ Wreck, but he’s still a part of the game he loves.

“If you look at all the accolades and awards I received in my life or in my career, receiving that degree from Georgia Tech would have to stand at the top of any of those awards or accolades I’ve had in my life,” Ivery said.

Ivery is one of this year’s Dr Pepper Atlantic Coast Conference Football Championship Game Legends who will be honored at this year’s ACC Football Championship Game weekend.
