Hosely signs with Florida A&M University
May 11, 2010
Brandon Hosely, a sophomore on Waycross College’s men’s basketball team, has signed a letter-of-intent to play basketball for Florida A&M University next season.
Hosely, from Jonesboro, Ga., started 29 games for the Swamp Foxes during the team’s inaugural season and led the team in scoring, averaging 18.4 points per game (third in the GJCAA). He was named the team’s Most Valuable Player and was a first team, All-GJCAA selection. He was also named to the first team for NAIA/Junior Colleges by the Georgia Basketball Coaches Association.
Among his season highlights, Hosely led the GJCAA in steals, averaging 4.3 points per game (second in the nation). He was fourth in the GJCAA in assists, averaging four per game. Hosely was in the top five in the GJCAA in free throw percentage, shooting seventy-five percent. He also placed in the top ten in the GJCAA in three-point shooting with a thirty-eight percent average.
Hosely scored in double digits in 24 of 29 games and holds the team’s single game scoring record with 35 points against St. Johns River Community College.
Hosely is one of four players to sign a letter-of-intent to play basketball at a four-year university. Head coach Cory Baldwin is pleased to see his players move on to the next level. “We as a college and an athletic department are excited, but not surprised, that all four of our sophomores have successfully moved on (to the next level),” said Baldwin. “It speaks volumes for our academic standards, our athletic program, and our team. We are all excited for Hosely signing with Florida A&M. I think he is a true leader and (we) look forward to seeing him on television some this year.”
According to Baldwin, some of Florida A&M’s games will be televised by ESPNU.
Bryan Hartley, WC’s athletic coordinator, is also thrilled that four Swamp Fox players will continue their college basketball careers. “We had four sophomores on our inaugural basketball team and we are proud that all four have signed to continue (to play) basketball and (pursue) their education at four-year universities,” said Hartley.
The other three players signing letters-of-intent are Marcus Benitez (Albany State University), Austin Collins (University of West Georgia), and Travis Ellison (University of West Georgia).
