3 Tech standouts return for degrees

Former Georgia Tech football players Mike Cox, Keyaron Fox and Will Heller will be on campus this fall to complete their degree work. All three played in the NFL following their Tech careers. … With Tech well under the 85-scholarship limit, coach Paul Johnson said he planned to award about three to walk-ons who were on track to graduate in December or next spring. The two longest-serving walk-ons on the team are A-back Sam McNearney and linebacker Joshua Rogers, who both joined the team in 2010.
