Saints add

basketball recruit

Jarrell Douglass, a 6-foot 5-inch forward from Leesburg, Fla., has signed to play with Limestone College men's basketball. Douglass was a standout for Leesburg High School and Santa Fe Community College.

Douglass comes to the Saints from Santa Fe Community College, where he played his freshman season.

He averaged eight points and six rebounds per game while shooting 54% from the field in his first season of college ball.

Douglass is no stranger to Limestone coach Brandon Scott's system as Scott coached Douglass as a sophomore and junior at Leesburg High School before taking a position at Limestone.

In high school, Douglass earned First-Team All-Area, First-Team All- District, Third-Team All-State, and team MVP honors. He averaged 20 points per game, 13 rebounds per game, and four assists per game during his high school career.

"Jarrell is a great sign for us," Scott said. "He is a great scorer and is tremendous on the boards on both ends of the floor. He is extremely skilled with the basketball and is very tough. He can beat you in a lot of ways and we cannot wait to get him on the court."
