Aaron Joseph "A. J." Suggs (born December 8, 1980) was the starting quarterback for Georgia Tech in the 2002 season, and for the University of Tennessee during portions of the 2000 season. Suggs went to McEachern High School and graduated from Georgia Tech with a B.S. degree from the College of Management in 2004.
Suggs was a four-year starter at McEachern High School in Powder Springs, Georgia. Suggs earned many honors including All-State, All-Region, All-District and AP Player of the Year for the state of Georgia. After his senior season, he was named to the SuperPrep All-American team.
Suggs started his career at the University of Tennessee. He was given a redshirt season in 1999. In 2000, he started four games for the Volunteers and played in three others, completing 53.8 percent of his passes for 785 yards, with 5 touchdowns and 3 interceptions. He was initially sharing playing time with Joey Mathews but both ultimately lost out to freshman Casey Clausen.
He transferred to Georgia Tech in 2001 and ushered in the new Chan Gailey regime, being the first skill position player to play for Gailey who was not recruited by previous coach George O'Leary. Due to eligibility transfer rules, he had to sit out the 2001 season. During that time, he apprenticed under former star quarterback George Godsey and eventual Delaware transfer Andy Hall.
