17. Sean Bedford, C, Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets
• Age: 22
• On-field accomplishments: 2009 All-ACC first team, on the preseason watch lists for the Outland and Rimington trophies.
• Major, GPA: Aerospace engineering and public policy (minor in law science and technology), 3.8
• SAT score: 1520. “I didn’t study. I took it three times. First one in seventh grade and got an 1130. The next time in 10th grade and got a 1400.”
• Off-field/intellectual interests: “I’ve always been fascinated with the space program. ... I’d love to be an astronaut. At the moment, being (6-1, 281), none of them are quite as big as I am.”
• What I’m reading now: “Right now, I’m reading The Prince, by Machiavelli. After that, I’ll move on to Paradise Lost, by Milton. I try to keep it to one a week, and if I have spare time, I’ll pick it up more.”
• Nerdiest thing about me: “When I was 7 or 8 years old, I could give you the name of not only every NASA mission from the first Mercury flights to the end of the Apollo program, I could name the crew and give a brief synopsis of each mission.”
Yeah, this is the kind of thing GT folk brag about.
