What did Roman Reigns say about Georgia Tech?

Roman Reigns was hyped to talk about Georgia Tech during his interview on The Pat McAfee Show. Reigns didn’t want to brag about their position because his teams usually don’t do well when he celebrates too early.

The Tribal Chief also expressed his gratitude to the Yellow Jackets while also giving out a recruiting speech for potential future players and students.

Georgia Tech, Atlanta, that’s the place to be. Pensacola could only do so much. I love Pensacola, Florida, the panhandle. It taught me how to be a young man, but Georgia Tech and Atlanta taught me how to be a grown man. So, please join. Membership has its privileges, boys,” Reigns said.

In addition to Roman Reigns, some of the most famous people to come out of Georgia Tech include former United States president Jimmy Carter, AT&T chairman David Dorman, Nobel Prize winner Kary Mullis, NBA legend Chris Bosh, and NFL legends Calvin Johnson, Billy Shaw and Joe Guyon.
