The Florida men’s basketball team made it official Tuesday, adding another member to the incoming 2015 class by signing junior college transfer Justin Leon.
Leon, who will be able to compete immediately and has two seasons of eligibility remaining, was a junior college All-American this past season after averaging a double-double (21.5 ppg., 10.0 rpg.) at Shawnee (Ill.) Community College. He announced the decision to transfer to UF on his Twitter account earlier this month after having signed with Louisiana Tech in April.
Leon, a 6-foot-8, 200-pound forward from Conway, Ark., joins a class of three of incoming freshmen, all ranked in the top 80 of the ESPN100 recruit rankings for the 2015 class, including, KeVaughn Allen, Kevarrius Hayes and Keith Stone.
