North Clayton’s Dieke heading to Tech for first college game

North Clayton’s Emmanuel Dieke, a Georgia Tech commitment and one of the AJC’s The Georgia 150 selections, says he never has been to a college football game. He’ll get his first game-day taste Thursday, when the Yellow Jackets play host to Jacksonville State in the season-opener at Bobby Dodd Stadium.

“I’ve been to a basketball game there, but that’s about it,” said Dieke, whose North Clayton team opens its season Saturday night against rival Riverdale. “I haven’t experienced that atmosphere yet, so it’s going to be fun … 60,000 fans, first game of the season, so it’s going to be nice. A whole bunch of Yellow Jacket fans.”

Meanwhile, Auburn and Stanford are still selling him on visits to their campuses, but the 6-foot-7, 225-pound defensive end is standing firm, saying he likely will not make visits to other schools, and that he plans to graduate early and enroll spring semester at Tech.

Congrats on your committment to Tech. I think you should at least take a look a the other schools to have something to compare to. Congrats again.

Emannuel, I would not trade my Tech education for any learning experience out there (yes, there were five others —-Princeton, UVa, Duke,Vandy,Tulane).But, your life is 100% yours to fill with opportunities.

Good things to you, young man.

Go Jackets!
