Regular visitors to notinhalloffame.com know that we are slowly working on the top 50 of every major team in the NHL, NBA, NFL, and MLB. Once that is done, we will examine how each team honors its past players, coaches, and executives. Eventually, we will do the same with the NCAA. As such, we want to highlight that Georgia Tech has announced its nine-person class of 2026.

The ceremony will take place on October 9, with the Class honored the following day at their home game against Duke.

We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to congratulate the members of the 2026 Georgia Tech Hall of Fame Class.

Regular visitors to Notinhalloffame.com are aware that we are gradually compiling the top 50 lists for every major team in the NHL, NBA, NFL, and MLB. Once that is done, we will examine how each team honors its past players, coaches, and executives. As such, it is important to us that Georgia Tech has announced the addition of eight new members to its prestigious institution.

The new class will be inducted on October 10 and will be honored during the Yellow Jackets' home game against Virginia Tech the following day.

The new inductees are:

Anders Albertson, Golf, 2010-15.  Albertson earned three All-America honors and won the ACC Championship twice (2013 and 2015).  He also won three other college tournaments and helped the Yellow Jackets win three conference championships.

Jim Culpepper, Women’s Basketball, 1974-80.  Culpepper was Georgia Tech’s inaugural Women’s Basketball Head Coach and set a still-standing school single-season winning percentage of .852 in 1977-78.  He also worked on the Women’s Volleyball, Tennis, and Softball programs for the school.

While Larry Morris never made a Pro Bowl, nor a First Team All-Pro, he was chosen for the 1960s All-Decade Team.  This is a testament to Morris’ consistency as he was highly regarded in his craft as an NFL Linebacker.  He would be a dependable presence in the Bears’ Defense that won the 1963 NFL Championship.

There is a lot to dissect when you are speaking about the career of Stephon Marbury, who as a player put up some impressive numbers.  The Point Guard had seven seasons with a PER over 20, would have the most Assists in the 2003/04 Season and averaged 19.3 Points per Game.  “Starbury” would go to two All-Star Games and was twice a Third Team All-NBA selection.  That is the positive part but, in the NBA, he left nothing but scorched earth behind him.  He wanted out of Minnesota, the team that drafted him as he allegedly disliked being in Kevin Garnett’s shadow.  He played well in New Jersey but couldn’t take them to the playoffs and the Point Guard they traded him for (Jason Kidd) took them all the way to the Finals.  His tenure in New York resulted in multiple clashes with coaches and the Knicks rarely were good while he was there.  He did however become a leader, team player and champion in the Chinese League, but that probably won’t factor much in the overall Hall of Fame calculation.

Georgia Tech has announced its seven person Athletic Hall of Fame Class of 2018 and there are certainly some familiar faces in the sporting world that will be honored forever as a Yellow Jacket.

Here are the seven new inductees:

Steven Blackwood: Baseball: Blackwood played Outfield for the Yellow Jackets and helped the school win the ACC regular season twice (2004 & 2005) and the ACC Tournament Title in 2005. He was also instrumental in the team reaching the College World Series in 2006.

Chris Bosh: Basketball: Bosh played one season at Georgia Tech (2002-03) where he was named the ACC Rookie of the Year. He would become an 11 time NBA All Star and two-time NBA Champion. He is a likely first ballot Naismith Basketball Hall of Famer.

Michael Johnson: Football: Johnson was an All-American in 2008 in a season where he recorded 9 Quarterback Sacks. He currently plays for the Cincinnati Bengals.

Adriane Lapsley Butler: Track & Field: Butler was a three-time All-American and a six time ACC Champion. She is currently an Assistant Coach at Georgia Tech.

Kristi Miller North: Tennis: North holds school records for wins in singles (152) and doubles (110). In 2007, she would lead the school to their only NCAA Title.

Chan Song: Golf: Song was a two-time All ACC Golfer and he had 11 top-19 finishes in 49 starts.

Jack Thompson: Fundraiser: Thompson has fundraised for Georgia Tech for the past 50 years.

The official induction ceremony will take place on September 21.

We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to congratulate the Georgia Tech Athletic Hall of Fame Class of 2018.

The New Orleans Saints offense has been good for so long that people have forgotten that when they finally put decent teams together in the early ’90s, it was on the strength of their defense.  Pat Swilling was a big part of those squads.

Pat Swilling was an excellent pass rusher who was brilliant at rushing the passer.  As New Orleans’ resident sack superstar, he five times (and another with Detroit) achieved double-digit totals in that category.  Swilling reached his high water mark in 1991, when he led the league in Sacks and captured the NFL Defensive Player of the Year Award. 

Pat Swilling was one of the most tenacious defenders of all time, but despite making the playoffs often, his respective teams never made it to the second game.  Had he been able to extend more in the playoffs, it is very possible that he could have been at least a Hall of Fame Finalist at one point.  Swilling might be among the most disrespected defensive players in football, and that includes his own fanbase.

Maxie Baughan had a successful eleven-year career in professional football, making the Pro Bowl for nine of those years. Despite this, the Pro Football Hall of Fame has not recognized him as he deserves. Baughan started his career at Georgia Tech and played for the Philadelphia Eagles.

He was a key player in their championship-winning season in 1960, and his linebacker skills made him the team's best defender. He earned five Pro Bowl selections and was a First Team All-Pro while with the Eagles. However, as the team's fortunes declined, the Eagles traded Baughan to the Los Angeles Rams in 1966.

Baughan continued to play well for the Rams, earning four consecutive Pro Bowl selections and four Second Team All-Pros from 1966 to 1970. He was a great fit for the team's Head Coach, George Allen, who knew how to make the most of Baughan's skills. After an injury-plagued 1970 season, Baughan retired but later rejoined Allen as a player-coach in 1974.

Baughan's acrimonious departure from the Eagles likely delayed his induction into their franchise Hall of Honor until 2015. It's unclear when the Pro Football Hall of Fame will recognize him, if at all.

Mark Price was a standout basketball player during his college years at Georgia Tech. However, despite being an All-American, scouts questioned his ability to play professionally because of his size and speed. Fortunately, he proved them wrong. He was drafted by the Dallas Mavericks in 1986 but was traded to the Cleveland Cavaliers on draft day, where he found his true calling.

Price's arrival in Cleveland coincided with the team's transformation from a mediocre squad to a legitimate contender. Along with teammates Brad Daugherty and Larry Nance, he helped lead the Cavaliers to the Eastern Conference Finals in 1992. However, their championship aspirations were dashed by Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls, who eliminated the Cavaliers four times in six years.

Despite this setback, Price's accomplishments on the court are undeniable. He was one of the best point guards in the league, known for his incredible passing skills, long-range jump shots, and ability to split double teams. He was also the second player after Larry Bird to join the exclusive "50-40-90 club," shooting 50 percent from the floor, 40 percent from behind the arc, and 90 percent from the free throw line.

In 1993, Price was named to the first team All-NBA and was a four-time All-Star. Unfortunately, his career was cut short by injuries, and his overall statistics may not be that impressive. However, his impact on the game of basketball cannot be denied. He will always be remembered as one of the greatest point guards of his era, and his legacy should be celebrated for years to come.

One of the most prolific tacklers in the history of the Atlanta Falcons, Keith Brooking, was drafted from Georgia Tech 12^th overall in 1998.  While he was not an immediate starter, he found a home in Atlanta’s Nickel Defense and was a part of their run to Super Bowl XXXIII.
