Mordecai, a redshirt sophomore this season, will have three years of eligibility remaining, because of the NCAA's blanket waiver that allowed all players to compete this season without it counting against them. The 6-foot-2, 211-pound Mordecai is a Texas native, playing his high school ball at Midway High in Waco.
