One of the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference’s best two-way talents has officially signed with Butler.
All-MEAC first team and All-defensive team member Drayton Jones signed an athletic aid agreement with the Bulldogs, Butler announced on Monday.
The 6-foot-11 forward played his sophomore year for San Diego State where he averaged 13.0 points, 5.5 rebounds and 1.4 assists per game.
“Drayton is a great addition to our program; he’s a high-character young man who is excited about the opportunities Butler has to offer,” said Butler coach Thad Matta. “Drayton is able to utilize his athleticism to protect the rim at a high level defensively and finish plays in the paint emphatically offensively. His best basketball is ahead of him and we’re glad that basketball will be played at Butler.”
Drayton is the fourth transfer addition for Butler, along with Purdue Fort Wayne transfer Jalen Jackson, Drexel transfer Yame Butler and Gonzaga’s Michael Ajayi.
