DEL.ICIO.USCarver RB Demond Dennis receives offer from Georgia Tech
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Categories
A last-minute decision to attend Georgia Tech’s 31-28 victory over Florida State at Bobby Dodd Stadium on Saturday proved to be a great move by Carver-Atlanta running back Demond Dennis.
Despite arriving in the second quarter, Dennis still managed to work his way to the locker room following the game. That’s when he bumped into Tech wide receivers coach Buzz Preston.
“I saw him and he told me to come up to the office,” the 5-foot-9, 193-pound Dennis said. “That’s when they gave me the letter.
“I was excited. [Coach Preston] told me to let him know when I’m ready to commit. But my dad had told me to take my time and let it play out.”
Dennis, who is being recruited by the Jackets as an A-back, says he’s also considering offers from Illinois and Louisville.
“But Georgia Tech is my No. 1 right now,” he said. “I really like it. I like how they run the ball. I know I’d get a lot of touches in the game.”

I really don’t know anything about this young man - but I do know about his skills on the field. He is the single biggest reason Carver has been as competitive as they are this year. This kid has it all - size, speed, and moves.

“Congrats Demond, don’t wait too long to accept this offer. Remember how Miss State took they offer back from the ball player from Banneker. Also, I understand you have a 3.8 GPA, Awesome Job!!!”

Young Man make the choice you feel is best when you feel it is best. I don’t and will not lie. We would love to have you at Ga. Tech to play in Bobby Dood at Grant Field. Do what is best for YOU. Coach Paul Johnson is doing better than expected in his first year, but that is because he expects you to become a MAN and do your JOB. At Ga. Tech that means Classwork, Film Study, Practice, and Community Life. BRING YOUR A+ GAME to TECH.
