THE FLATS – Georgia Tech football and basketball legends, Calvin Johnson and Jarrett Jack, as well as former major league infielder Eric Patterson and current PGA Tour player Nicholas Thompson, headline eight former Georgia Tech sports icons who have been elected to the 2016 Georgia Tech Sports Hall of Fame class.
The 2016 class, one of the most accomplished collectively in the history of the Hall of Fame, also includes track and field All-Americans Lynn Houston Moore and Brendon Mahoney, baseball All-American Michael Sorrow and ACC tennis champion Jaime Wong. These outstanding individuals will be inducted into the Georgia Tech Hall of Fame at the annual Induction Dinner on Friday, Oct. 14 at the Georgia Tech Hotel and Conference Center.
“We are excited to welcome this 2016 class into the Georgia Tech Sports Hall of Fame,” said Tech director of athletics Mike Bobinski. “All of these student-athletes excelled individually in their own right, but they were also key contributors to the success of their teams, which achieved great heights during their time at Tech. It is a tremendous privilege each year to add a new class to our Hall of Fame and have these men and women back on campus, and we look forward to honoring them here on Oct. 14.”
Following are brief bios on the 2016 Hall of Fame class, one of the biggest classes in recent memory:
