Washington outsiders
The Washington, D.C. metro area has been bountiful for Tech in recent years. Former defensive end Jeremiah Attaochu, former cornerback Louis Young and current defensive end Roderick Rook-Chungong are among players who came to Tech from schools in the area’s talent-rich Catholic league.
Two years ago, the league was part of a plan to extend the team’s recruiting reach to schools and areas where Tech’s academic reputation played well and the influence of the SEC was not as strong.
