De'Shawn Dillon commits to Georgia Tech for football and basketball

De'Shawn Dillon, a two-sport athlete from Northwest Rankin, announced his commitment to Georgia Tech for both football and men's basketball on August 22. He chose Georgia Tech over Ole Miss and Mississippi State, expressing a strong connection with the program. Dillon, ranked as the No. 13 player in the 2027 football class and the No. 28 shooting guard in basketball, aims to bring a national championship to Georgia Tech. Last season, he achieved 979 receiving yards and averaged 17.9 points in basketball, highlighting his dual-sport capabilities. Dillon's decision follows a trend where many schools preferred he focus on only one sport, leading him to seek programs that support his dual aspirations.
