Folsom field has become a runway of big names under Deion Sanders: Lil Wayne, The Rock, Kawhi Leonard, you name it. But Georgia Tech senior DB Clayton Powell-Lee isn't buying into the hype. Ahead of his team's season opener in Boulder, he dismissed the celebrity sideline circus, reminding that when the lights flash birghtest, it's football, not fame that decides the outcome.
Sanders and celebrities aren't on the field
When asked about the much publicized spectacle at Colorado games, Powell-Lee was unflappably direct:
I know they bring out celebrities and they do all this crazy stuff, but we're playing football. None of them playing
He emphasized that despite the Folsom Field buzz, it's the players on the field who ultimately matter. Having experiences wild stadium atmospheres before, Powell-Lee is keeping focus where it belongs: on execution and discipline.
Georgia Tech aims to stay grounded
Colorado's sideline has turned into a red carpet under Coach Prime's leadership, drawing celebrities from live TV to halftime fuel. Powell-Lee's message is clear: let flash distract the other side.
Georgia Tech is showing up ready to follow a disciplined, grounded game plan. It's a subtle mindset shift pushing the team to treat Friday's opener as strictly business. A louder statement than any sideline star could make.
