BOWLING GREEN, Ky. — WKU Hilltopper Basketball head coach Rick Stansbury announced Thursday the signing of Jordan Rawls (6-2, Guard) in the 2019 class.
Â
Rawls, who plays for Hamilton Heights Christian Academy in Chattanooga, Tenn., was originally a member of the 2020 class but will reclassify to 2019 and join the Hilltoppers this summer.
Â
"We're glad to finally have Jordan join our family," Stansbury said. "He brings a high skill level to our team, and there's no question he has tremendous upside. I've known his father for a good portion of my life, so I know what kind of family he comes from. He has a terrific father and mother, and we're excited to have him in our program."
Â
Rawls averaged 23 points and seven assists per game last season for Hamilton Heights, leading the Hawks to the National Association of Christian Athletics Division I national championship and a 34-4 record. It was the program's third championship in four years.
Â
He scored 22 points in the title game and had another game where he made nine 3-pointers and scored a career-high 38 points.
Â
Rawls is rated a four-star prospect by both 247Sports and Rivals. 247Sports ranked him the No. 80 player in the country in the 2020 class.
Â
He averaged 11.9 points per game this spring on the AAU circuit for Team Thad, shooting 47.6 percent from the field and 34.9 percent from 3-point range.
Â
Rawls' father, Keith, was a standout for Austin Peay in the late 80s when Stansbury was an assistant for the Governors.
