The most memorable part of Xavier Gantt’s recruitment was shared by tens of thousands of Georgia Tech fans. Gantt attended last year’s game against Florida State and understandably got caught up in the emotion of Lance Austin’s return of a blocked field goal for the game-winning touchdown.
Austin joined the Tech student body in flooding the field.
“I was one of the first people down there,” he said.
The second player in as many years from powerhouse Buford High to pick Tech, Gantt has the opportunity to have a more central role in creating memories for Tech fans.
