DENVER – The University of Denver men's basketball program has signed shooting guard Brad Easton in the 2024 early signing period, head coach Jeff Wulbrun announced on Wednesday.
Easton is coming off a junior campaign where he set Brighton High School's (Utah) record for three-pointers made in a single season, netting 81 shots from behind the arc. He earned First Team All-Region honors last year, averaging 14.1 points per game.
"Brad is a 6-6 elite level three-point shooter with a pure stroke and a great feel for the game," Wulbrun said. "He has great size and length and will be a very impactful player in a variety of areas for us. He has the ability to shoot with deep range, which will help us spread the floor. I love his approach to the game. He plays with a fearless attitude and wants to take big shots. He has established the highest standards and expectations, while setting very challenging goals and objectives. He will join us at DU after the completion of his two-year religious mission."
