FORT WAYNE, Ind. – Mason Shrout has signed a National Letter of Intent to join the Purdue Fort Wayne men's basketball program in 2024-25.
Shrout (6-5, guard) is from Camden, Ohio and Preble Shawnee High School. He played AAU for Wildcats Select. He was a First Team All-D3 Ohio selection. As a junior, he averaged 23.1 points, 9.2 rebounds and 3.6 assists per game. He shot 50.1 percent from the floor and 39.4 percent from three. He was the District 15 Player of the Year. He is his high school's all-time leading scorer.
"We have built our program on gym rats that love to play and are obsessed with their player development coupled with versatile skill sets and Mason is another great fit with our program—he's extremely versatile," Mastodon head coach Jon Coffman said. "Mason has an elite basketball IQ, can score the basketball at a high level and can really, really pass it. And most importantly, he competes on every possession. Having recruited Mason for so long, there is no doubt in my mind that he is an everyday person and really buys into what our Program is all about. We're ecstatic to have Mason join the 'Dons!"
The 'Dons are 1-0 after a season opening victory at DePaul. Purdue Fort Wayne hosts Andrews on Thursday (Nov. 9) in the 2023-24 home opener.
