The native of Norcross, Georgia, played at Georgia Tech from 2020 to 2024. He spent his true freshman season at USC. Sturdivant was part of Georgia Tech’s 2021 team that won the ACC Tournament.
He finished his career with 49 career starts for the Yellow Jackets, posting career averages of 7.3 points, 2.4 assists, and 2.0 rebounds. The 301 assists in his four years at Georgia Tech put Sturdivant 18th in Yellow Jackets history in assists.
