GEORGIA TECH OFFENSIVE LINEMAN JOE FUSILE NAMED
MILITARY BOWL STEM SCHOLAR-ATHLETE PRESENTED BY BUILDSUBMARINES.COM
Georgia Tech offensive lineman Joe Fusile, a redshirt sophomore majoring in electrical engineering, has been named a Military Bowl STEM Scholar-Athlete presented by BuildSubmarines.com.
Fusile, who is from Richmond Hill, Georgia, has a 3.28 grade-point average and is a member of the ACC Honor Roll. A former walk-on player, he earned a spot as a starter and was nominated for the Burlsworth Trophy, given to the nation’s top player who began his career as a walk-on. He chose to attend Georgia Tech because of his desire to become an engineer after graduation.
“Joe Fusile was my student in a first-year engineering discovery studio,” said Anna Holcomb, director of retention and completion initiatives at Georgia Tech. “In a class of more than 200 students, Joe stood out. Not just because of his stature, but because Joe is an engaged student who brings a genuine curiosity to his development as an engineer. A natural problem solver and undeniably resilient, Joe seemed to truly relish the more tactile aspects of engineering and the accomplishment of holding a device he created for a class project in his own hands. Joe Fusile is an exemplary student-athlete, both on and off the field.”
The Military Bowl and BuildSubmarines.com are proud to announce the members of the third annual Military Bowl STEM Scholar-Athlete Program, recognizing some of the brightest minds taking the football field in the ACC and the American Athletic Conference.
