Former SCC standout Altez Davis is continuing his basketball career at Jackson State University. The 6’7“ forward recently signed a letter of intent with the Division1 school, located in Jackson, Miss.

Davis averaged 10.6 points a game while shooting 53 percent from the floor for the team, which went 13-20 on the season and made it to the NJCAA DII National Tournament.

The Danville, Ill., native said he chose Jackson State because the coaches and players welcomed him with “open arms,” which made the decision “easy” for him.

Davis said the team is very competitive, and he is looking forward to adding his talents to the mix.

“I can’t wait for the season start to showcase all the hard work I put in,“ Davis said.

The University of North Texas , Western Illinois , Grambling St. University and Tulsa were among the other schools that Davis considered before signing with JSU.
