St. Joseph Central High School graduate A.J. Redman signed a letter of intent to continue his basketball career at William Penn University on Thursday.
Redman was a three-year starter for the Indians and played varsity all four years, and he scored over 1000 points in his Central career. He was named first-team All-league his last two years at CHS and Redman led the Suburban League Red Division in scoring as a senior at 18.7 points per game.
"I want to thank God for blessing me with this chance to play at the next level and further my education!" Redman said on Twitter Thursday. "I also want to thank my parents, previous teammates and coaching for pushing me and not only making me a better basketball player but a better person as well. I've learned so much throughout the years, starting with the Hoyas, J'Hawks and ending with Central. It's been a ride and I'll never forget it. Now I will begin my next chapter at William Penn University in Iowa!"
William Penn is an NAIA school in Oskaloosa, Iowa and they're a member of the Heart of America Athletic Conference.
Last season, the Statesmen went 30-3 and won the regular season and tournament championships in the Heart. They qualified for the NAIA national tournament in Kansas City but didn't get to play because of the COVID 19 pandemic.
