Two days after he committed to Kansas State, junior college forward Makol Mawien made things official and signed with the Wildcats on Tuesday.
Mawien, a 6-foot-9, 220-pound redshirt freshman averaged 8.7 points, 5.8 rebounds and 2.0 blocks for New Mexico Junior College last season. He will transfer to K-State this summer and have three years of eligibility remaining. He attended high school in Salt Lake City and started his college career at Utah.
His size makes him a valuable addition for the Wildcats with the departure of senior forward D.J. Johnson.
“We are excited to add a versatile big man like Makol to our program,” K-State basketball coach Bruce Weber said in a statement.
