    “This is a moment in my life that kids like myself have always dreamt about, making the decision on where I want to continue my academic and athletic career,” said Gantt in a statement released via Twitter. “It’s been a VERY long journey up to this point, with a lot of ups and downs, but thanks to that man above I’ve been blessed with a number of opportunities to play at the next level.”

    “With all that being said, I’m excited to announce that I have committed to Providence College,” he said. “FRIAR TOWN STAND UP.”
