Tallulah Falls’ all-time hits, runs, and stolen base leader Danny Grant has signed his paperwork with South Georgia State College to continue his academic and baseball career.
“It’s a great feeling knowing that my hard work and sacrifices behind closed doors have paid off,” says Grant. “This has been a lifelong dream of mine to play at the next level.”
Grant was the 2024 Region Player of the Year and earned All-State honors by Georgia Dugout Club (also named their 1A DI Player of the Year). The outfielder has 95 career hits, two homeruns, 62 RBI, 83 runs scored, 14 doubles, seven triples, 51 stolen bases, and 42 walks in his illustrious career at TFS.
“It takes a lot of dedication and hard effort to be a next-level athlete,” he adds. “Many things go unnoticed that are necessary to be prepared for the next level, such as watching what you eat or giving up spare time to practice more. Also playing and training year around with minimal breaks.”
South Georgia State College is located in Douglas. The Hawks reside in the Georgia Collegiate Athletic Association (GCAA) and National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA).
“I was impressed by their honesty,” explains Grant on why he chose SGSC. “It seemed like a comfortable setting, and the coaching staff was quite honest with me about their expectations for me, and how their program is run.”
Grant becomes the 15th Tallulah Falls baseball player to be able to compete at the next level. He is the sixth overall Tallulah Falls athlete this 2024-25 school year to officially sign paperwork. Grant will be recognized at the annual Next Level Signing Ceremony on May 21, 2025 with all signees from this academic year.
