*Tashard Choice, a two-time Atlantic Coast Conference rushing champion at Georgia Tech and former National Football League running back, is in his second year as running backs coach at his alma mater. In his first season as the Yellow Jackets’ running backs coach, he coached an all-ACC honoree in Jordan Mason and, in his role as offensive recruiting coordinator, was instrumental in putting together the second-highest ranked recruiting class in Tech history.

A Jonesboro, Ga. native, Choice returned to Georgia Tech from North Texas, where he was named one of six finalists for FootballScoop’s 2018 Running Backs Coach of the Year award.

Before entering the coaching ranks, Choice enjoyed a six-year NFL career (2008-13), most notably spending four seasons with the Dallas Cowboys. As a running back at Georgia Tech (2005-07), he led the ACC in rushing in 2006 and 2007 and remains Tech’s only two-time ACC rushing champion.
