A Georgia Institute of Technology freshman will compete in the Jeopardy! College Championship this week.

Rishab Jain, who is from Memphis, Tennessee, will vie for a winning spot against William Scott, from Tufts University, and Caroline Trammell, from Furman University.

The materials science and engineering student will appear on the show Wednesday, which can be watched on WXIA-TV at 7:30 p.m.

The championship week includes 15 students representing different campuses. Of those, there’s another Georgia tie: Dhruv Gaur, a freshman from Gainesville, Georgia, will appear on the show Tuesday. Gaur represents Brown University.
