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.
