Georgia Tech will hold graduation ceremonies Saturday at the Georgia Dome. Among the graduates will be 40 current or former Tech athletes and managers. Notables include football players Chandler Anderson, Preston Lyons, B.J. Machen, Steven Sylvester and Omoregie Uzzi. Anderson, in fact, will report to Naval Air Station Pensacola Jan. 3, three days after playing his final game for Tech in the Sun Bowl.
Former Tech baseball player Charlie Blackmon, who made his major-league debut this season with the Colorado Rockies, will also graduate, as will three-time tennis All-American Guillermo Gomez, whose Tech career ended this past spring before turning professional.
