They join a recruiting class that includes fall signees Jaeden Mustaf and Cole Kirouac. Tech’s class is ranked No. 12 overall nationally by 247Sports and fourth in the ACC.
“We’re excited about this class overall,” Tech coach Damon Stoudamire said in a release. “We’ve added versatility, athleticism and high-character guys to our young core, and we’re looking forward to seeing them develop in our program.”
Sutton is rated a four-star prospect by all four major recruiting services after averaging 10.6 points, 8.2 rebounds and 3.7 assists and making 58.4% of his shots from the floor over a 17-game schedule for Team RWE at OTE 2023-24.

Sutton played his junior season at Accelerated Way in Denver and participated in the NBPA Top 100 and Pangos All-American camps in 2023.
“Darrion is someone we coveted for his two-way ability to rebound and slash on offense,” Stoudamire said. “That along with him defensively being able to guard multiple positions will be a plus for us from Day One. I look for him to impact our program for years to come.”
