How Are The Recruits Playing? Alex Owens
After giving an update on Drew Edwards of Calvert Hall and Ryan Fazekas of Marquette Catholic next up is an update on the final member of Providence’s committed class of 2015, Alex Owens. Owens plays for coach Alex Jackson at Oak Ridge High School in Orlando, FL making him the recruit who will have to travel the furthest to attend Providence college in this class at over 1,200 miles. Fazekas isn’t too far off with over 900 miles between Michigan City, IN and Providence, RI though. He also plays for Each 1 Teach 1 on the Nike EYBL circuit.
Last season Oak Ridge went 19-10 and lost to eventual State Champion, Winter Park, in the Region 8A-2 semifinals. The Pioneers are off to a 10-2 start to this season and coach Jackson called Owens “a key contributor” to the team’s early season success.
