Jordan Johnson, his brother Josh and their mother woke up at 4 a.m. Nov. 28 to make the trip to Atlanta from Jacksonville, Fla., to attend Georgia Tech’s game against Georgia.

Johnson, a high school offensive lineman who said he had been “100 percent” committed to Tech despite its disappointing season, hoped to be a good-luck charm for the Yellow Jackets. He had also attended the Jackets’ upset win over Florida State in October.
