Akai Fleming, a four-star shooting guard in the 2025 class, has committed to Georgia Tech, he tells On3.

The 6-foot-4 junior out of Marietta (GA) Osborne chose to play for Damon Stoudamire and the in-state Yellow Jackets over offers from Georgia, Alabama, Auburn, and others.

Fleming discussed his decision with On3.

“I chose Georgia Tech because it’s close to home,” Fleming said. “Also, I was able to build a relationship with coach Stoudamire and the staff and having the NBA experience on the staff, I feel like help take my game to the next level.”

In his own words, what type of player is Georgia Tech getting in Akai Fleming?

“I would say I have a sound and poised game. My ability to breakdown defenders and get to my spots and being able to score on all three levels effectively.”

Fleming has a message for GT fans.

“My message to the GT fans is I’m super excited to join the GT family. You guys are getting a fun and hardworking person on and off the court. I can’t wait to suit up in the white and gold. Go Yellow Jackets!”

According to the 2025 On3 Industry Rankings, Fleming is ranked as the No. 48 overall prospect in the class. He’s also the No. 11 shooting guard and the No. 8 player in Georgia.
