GREENSBORO, N.C. – Georgia Tech safety Isaiah Johnson and long snapper Trevor Stroebel were among the 63 student-athletes named to the 2014 All-ACC Academic Football Team.
Johnson, a native of Tyrone, Ga., is a two-time Georgia Tech graduate. He graduated in December 2013 with his bachelor’s degree in management and in December 2014 with a master’s degree in building construction.

After missing the 2013 season recovering from injury, he recorded 72 tackles in 2014 and finished his career with 283 tackles – the most by a Georgia Tech defensive back in school history.
Stroebel, a sophomore from Saukville, Wis., came to Georgia Tech in 2013 as a walk-on and ended up playing a significant role as a true freshman. As a sophomore in 2014, he played in all 14 games as the Jackets’ short snapper. He is a majoring in business administration.
