‘Christmas in June’ for newest Tech commit
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

It didn’t take Flowery Branch’s Daniel Drummond very long to say yes after receiving a scholarship offer from Georgia Tech on Saturday.
“We went into coach [Paul] Johnson’s office today and he offered Daniel a scholarship,” Drummond’s father, Jim Drummond said late Saturday. “Daniel accepted on the spot.”
The 6-foot-3, 230-pound Drummond already has plenty of experience in a triple option offense, which will debut at Tech under their new coach this fall.
“We run a similar offense at Flowery Branch,” said Daniel Drummond, who was recruited as a B-back. “When the coaches from Georgia Tech came and watched me at spring practice, I guess I looked very good.”
Despite holding offers from Arkansas, Marshall, Oklahoma State, Troy and West Virginia, there was little drama for Drummond when he received the good news from Tech.
“This is an awesome opportunity,” he said. “It’s like Christmas in June. It’s what I’ve been working for, and I finally got it.
“Georgia Tech is where I want to be.”
