Gehrig Dieter has a unique story.
He grew up with a father, Derek Dieter, who had a love for baseball. In naming all of his sons after legendary players for the New York Yankees, he has gotten the opportunity to see all of them achieve success. When it comes to Gehrig, the patriarch mentored someone with an incredible work ethic. He was a star athlete at Washington High School (South Bend, Ind.) and despite playing at Southern Methodist University (SMU) and Bowling Green State University, Dieter made the most of every opportunity.
After being a 1,000-yard receiver (1,038) for the Falcons in 2015, he transferred to the University of Alabama during the summer of 2016.
