Hawk hall of famer Dominique Wilkins. Tech All-American WR Calvin Johnson won the Belitnikoff Award. Tech basketball All-American Roger Kaiser. UGA Heisman Trophy winner Frank Sinkwich. Central Charger kicker David Murphy. The number has been retired by the Falcons, Braves, Hawks, Tech, and Bulldogs.
