Technical Tidbits 10/16: Antonneous Clayton Earns the Number Nine
Rich Barnes-USA TODAY Sports Chorus really needs to update their pictures of Georgia Tech.By now, most Georgia Tech fans know the story of Antonneous Clayton. A top-30 recruit in the class of 2016, Clayton initially signed with Florida. With the Gators, an early injury restricted his playing time and he was never able to unlock his full potential. Clayton transferred to Tech in 2019, but was unable to get a waiver to participate in the 2019 season. He did not give up, though, and became a great player on the scout team. In his first two games with the Yellow Jackets this season (he was injured against FSU and UCF), Clayton has already recorded two sacks. For all of his dedication, Tech Head Coach Geoff Collins gave Clayton a coveted single-digit jersey number, 9. Congratulations, Antonneous! Keep it up!
