FORT WAYNE, Ind. - Jarvis Walker (Muskegon, Mich./Muskegon) has signed a National Letter of Intent to join the Purdue Fort Wayne men's basketball program for the 2020-21 campaign.
Walker, a 6-2 guard, averaged 18.6 points, 5.1 rebounds and 4.1 assists as a junior while shooting 44 percent from beyond the arc. He scored his 1,000th career point during the same season. MLive named Walker the Muskegon Player of the Year and recognized him as a top 25 player in the state of Michigan for a second consecutive season. He was selected as All-State by the Associated Press, Detroit Free Press and Detroit News. As a sophomore, Walker averaged 22 points, 5.7 rebounds and 3.6 assists. Walker was Associated Press All-State Honorable Mention, Detroit News All-State Honorable Mention and Detroit Free Press Third Team All-State. He received Academic All-State honors thanks to a 3.92 GPA and was a member of the National Honor Society. Walker's parents both played basketball at Ferris State. His sister Jasmyn played at Western Michigan and his sister Jordan is currently playing at Western Michigan.
"We are excited to have Jarvis join our program," Purdue Fort Wayne head coach Jon Coffman said. "He comes from a basketball family and has been extremely well-coached in a winning high school program. He is a versatile player who can guard three positions and has the physicality to compete at the college level. He can play with the ball in his hands and off the ball, and we absolutely love the energy and leadership skills that he has shown in his high school setting."
The Mastodons return to action on Wednesday (Nov. 13) night against Miami.
