Georgia Tech quarterback Eddie McAshan's career began as the first black quarterback in the Deep South when he enrolled at Tech in 1969. Because freshmen were ineligible then, he began his varsity career the next season. It ended when he was suspended from the Liberty Bowl at the end of his senior season.
