Dawson College hoops star commits to UPEI

The UPEI Men's Basketball Panthers are excited to announce that six-foot-five Brian Ofori, from Dawson College in Montreal, has committed to attend UPEI in September. Ofori led his team in rebounds and blocked shots, and was among the league leaders in the Quebec CEGEP league.

Tim Kendrick, head coach of the UPEI men's basketball team was thrilled to learn Ofori would be attending UPEI in the fall. 'We are excited to add Ofori to our Panther family. He comes to us with tremendous potential, and I see him as a great fit for our program,' said Kendrick. 'He is a very physical athlete with a solid work ethic and attitude. Most importantly, like all of our players, he is a fine young man.'

Ofori is excited to join the Panthers lineup in September. 'I am very pleased to have been chosen to play with the UPEI Panthers, and to be a part of this up-and-coming program,' said Ofori. 'I have been told that this is the perfect place for me to develop into a great player under the leadership of Coach Kendrick and his staff,' said Ofori. 'I intend to work hard on and off the court and can't thank UPEI enough for this opportunity.'
