THE FLATS – Thirty-five current and former Georgia Tech student-athletes, managers and cheerleaders received their degrees during Georgia Tech’s 250th Commencement exercises at McCamish Pavilion.

Graduate ceremonies were held Friday, while undergraduate commencement was held throughout the day Saturday. Current football graduate assistant coach Steven Sylvester earned his master’s degree in building construction facility management.

Included in Tech’s fall graduates are 19 graduating with a business degree and 10 more graduating with a degree in engineering. Among those receiving a business degree are 2015 football team co-captains Adam Gotsis and D.J. White, former walk-on Isiah Willis, and Keyaron Fox, who returned to Georgia Tech 12 years after playing in his final game with the Yellow Jackets.

Also among the weekend’s graduates were 2015 NCAA All-South Region cross country performer Brandon Lasater, who became the first native-born Georgian to run a sub-four minute mile over the summer, and Morgan Jackson, who is the outgoing Student-Athlete Advisory Board President.

Quarterback Tim Byerly, who graduates with a degree in business administration, penned a poignant letter Thursday to Georgia Tech fans and alumni.
