Little Rock Christian’s Layden Blocker became the second in-state freshman to receive a scholarship offer from a Power 5 school this week.
Blocker, an explosive, 6-foot point guard, received an offer from TCU on Thursday to go with one from Southern Miss. He averaged about 15 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 steals per game for the Warriors. He was named Class 5A All-State and All-Conference.
He is expected to play for the 15-under Joe Johnson Arkansas Hawks this summer.
“Layden has a high basketball IQ along with long arms,” Hawks president and founder Bill Ingram said.
