'Football nerd' Sean Bedford takes spot in Georgia Tech radio booth
The departure of Georgia Tech color analysts Roddy Jones opened the door for Sean Bedford, a self-described “football nerd” to walk right through it, and the former Yellow Jackets star couldn't be more excited.
Bedford, a former two-time all-ACC center, has worked for Tech broadcasts as a pre-game co-host and backup sideline reporter for the past two years and was thrilled about his new opportunity.
“It’s been a privilege to represent the Institute in my previous capacity as the pre-game show co-host,” Bedford told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. “I’m excited for the opportunity to move forward and do it in-game now.”
Georgia Tech voice Brandon Gaudin said Bedford will fit right in.
“In finding (Jones’) successor, Sean was the natural fit, and I’m thrilled he is the next to occupy that chair,” Gaudin said in a statement. “He played in this offense, is an incredibly hard worker, has the respect and admiration of Tech fans, and has already proven himself to be talented behind the microphone. We are lucky to have him waiting in the wings.”
