2 Local Prep Products D1 Bound

Tuesday, March 16th, 2021

Gardner-Webb landed a pair of commitments from local prep products located just miles down the road from each other. 

First it was Putnam Science Academy post-graduate and Team New England's Leon Williams and then on Monday it was Woodstock Academy post-graduate and Riverside Hawks' Julien Soumauro.  

Williams, who graduated from Cambridge Rindge & Latin School last year, is a high-level athlete and multi-positional player on the perimeter who excels on the defensive end of the floor but is also capable of playing above the rim and making plays for himself and others with his passing ability. 

He is the 10th member of PSA's 2021 class to commit to a D1 school.

Soumaoro is a New York native who previously starred at Cardinal Hayes High School in the Bronx. An instant offense type of guard with a special ability for putting points on the board and making tough shots, he's taken his game to new levels this year at Woodstock by becoming more reliable and embracing a true leadership role, allowing him to become more of a point guard.
