"He was one of the best guards on the prep school circuit this past season being named to the first team in several of the top tournaments such as: Big Shot National Tournament, Hoop Hall Prep Showcase and The Golden State Classic. Further, his versatility was seen in his season averages of 19 points, six rebounds, five assists and two steals per game. We are excited to see how he fits in and contributes to the Pepperdine basketball program."
