Georgia Tech
Scout Report
Standing tall at 6-10, this towering presence in the paint has already secured his future with one of the ACC's rising programs.
Background
Hailing from Atlanta, Georgia, Moustapha Diop has taken his talents to Overtime Elite, where he competes alongside some of the nation's most elite prospects. Playing on the same squad as Kansas commits Javon Bardwell and Taylen Kinney, along with rising 2028 star Kameron Mercer, Diop has been tested against top-tier competition daily. The Overtime Elite environment has provided him with professional-level training and exposure on the national stage.
Playing Style
Diop's game is built around his impressive 6-10 frame and developing skill set in the post. He possesses solid footwork around the basket and shows the ability to finish through contact, making him a reliable scoring option in the paint. His length and size make him a natural rim protector, altering shots and cleaning up the glass effectively. While still developing his range and perimeter skills, Diop's fundamentals are sound and his basketball IQ continues to grow as he learns to use his physical advantages more consistently.
Recruitment
With offers from Georgia Tech, Alabama, and Auburn, Diop ultimately chose to commit to the Yellow Jackets, giving them a significant frontcourt piece for the future. Ranked #112 nationally in the class of 2026, he projects as a player who could develop into a reliable ACC center with continued development of his offensive repertoire and defensive instincts.
