At Georgia Tech’s commencement exercises Saturday, among those expected to graduate were 63 Yellow Jackets athletes. They included football players Harrison Butker and Matthew Jordan and former team members Rod Sweeting and Cord Howard, who both returned to school to complete their degree work.

After getting drafted in the seventh round last Saturday by the Carolina Panthers, Butker was at his team’s rookie minicamp this weekend. He tweeted Friday that the team was going to permit him to leave the minicamp early to attend graduation ceremonies.

Another was volleyball player and mechanical engineering major Teegan Van Gunst, a two-time All-ACC selection, her sport’s ACC scholar-athlete of the year this past season and the recipient of an NCAA post-graduate scholarship.

Former baseball player Brandon Boggs, who finished his Tech career in 2004 and played four years in the major leagues. He returned in the spring of 2016 and earned dean’s list honors in every semester since.
