CCC
COLBY — Trojans center Matt McFarlane signed a letter of intent on Thursday with Wichita State University during the first day of the spring signing period.
At 6-10 and 210 pounds, McFarlane tallied 10.7 points, 6.8 rebounds, and 2.1 blocks while shooting 53 percent from the floor this season. As a freshman, he averaged 11.2 points, 6.4 rebounds and 1.8 blocks.
In two seasons at CCC, the Philadelphia, Pa., native earned Jayhawk Conference honorable mention twice. He was part of Colby's top-10 national ranking a year ago in a season in which the Trojans secured the first men's basketball conference regular-season title in school history, followed by their first national tournament berth.
McFarlane chose WSU over Loyola Chicago, St. John's, George Mason, and Colorado.
"Matt is big and athletic," said Shockers Head Coach Issac Brown. "He runs and jumps well, he can score facing up or with his back to the basket, and he has great instincts as a shot-blocker. He's been well-coached by Rusty Elmore and the staff at Colby."
