  • History of the Wreck

    The history of the football program is well ingrained within the fabric of college football. As early as 1904, the Yellow Jackets would reach prominence under the direction of legendary coach John Heisman, for whom the Heisman Trophy is named. This level of success included the famous 1916 game against Cumberland College which Georgia Tech won by the record-setting score of 222-0. The next season, 1917, was the first of four national championships won by Georgia Tech. They would repeat as champions in 1928, 1952 and in 1990. The Yellow Jackets left the Metro Conference in 1978 to join the ACC. The team's series with in-state rival Georgia has produced some memorable contests, and has come to be known as "Clean, Old-Fashioned Hate."

  • Ramblin Wreckers

    Georgia Tech has produced numerous legendary NFL superstars, including Calvin Johnson, Drew Hill, Joe Guyon, Clay Matthews, Keith Brooking, Pat Swilling, Marco Coleman, Dorsey Levins and Billy Shaw. Three prominent college head coaches also played their college football at Georgia Tech, such as Pepper Rodgers, Frank Broyles and Bill Curry.
