2019-20 Louisville basketball preview: Jae’Lyn Withers spotlight

Player Spotlight: Jae’Lyn Withers

Class: Freshman

Position: Forward

Height: 6’8

Weight: 215

Hometown: Charlotte, NC

The season has yet to start, but freshman Jae’Lyn Withers has wasted no time in showing Louisville fans his athleticism and what he can do. At Louisville Live on September 27, Withers was the winner of the slam dunk contest, beating out Darius Perry, Josh Nickelberry, and Aidan Igiehon. When you win a dunk contest that is judged by Griff and Donovan Mitchell (and Jack Harlow, of course), that is saying something.

Withers comes from a basketball family.
