MURFREESBORO, Tenn. – Head Men's Basketball Coach Nick McDevitt announced another signee for his program on Friday as Canadian prep standout Junior Farquhar has signed his grant-in-aid to become a Blue Raider.
Middle Tennessee welcomes the 6-foot-2 guard from Orangeville Prep in Ontario, Canada. Farquhar averaged 11.3 points, 9.2 assists and 8.8 rebounds per game at Orangeville Prep as NorthPoleHoops.com ranked him 13th nationally in Canada's 2018 recruiting class.
"Junior Farquhar is a very competitive player that wants to win every time he steps on the floor" said Coach McDevitt. "He brings a lot of toughness to our team. He's an explosive player with good size for his position and we're excited about adding him to our program."
Farquhar, a physical driver and distributor, collected several awards in his last few seasons, including being named two-time Biosteel All-Canadian and 2nd Team All-Star in the Ontario Scholastic Basketball Association. He also led Orangeville Prep to a 2017 OSBA championship.
"My family and I decided to join the Blue Raiders because we believe they offer the best situation for me," said Farquhar. "Coach McDevitt and his staff truly believe in me and they've done a great job putting together a great team in a short period of time. Conference USA is a great conference and a level that I know I can be great in."
Farquhar joins fellow prep standouts Jayce Johnson of Canisius (NY) High School and Anthony Crump of Plymouth (MI) High School as well as transfers Darnell Butler, DeAndre Dishman, C.J. Jones and Reggie Scurry in McDevitt's first signing class at Middle Tennessee.
