Zion Harmon is officially going to be a Hilltopper.

A Class of 2021 four-star point guard out of Marshall County High School in Benton, Ky., Harmon put pen to paper on Wednesday and officially signed his National Letter of Intent to play for Coach Rick Stansbury and Western Kentucky.

Harmon, a 5-foot-9, 170-pound prospect, committed to WKU back in March — choosing the Hilltoppers over Kansas, Maryland, Murray State and Seton Hall. He averaged 25.4 points per game and shot 44.3% from the field as a junior at Marshall County, leading his Marshals team to 23 wins and a runner-up finish in the Kentucky High School Athletic Association's First Region.

"It's very obvious that Zion's basketball credentials and accomplishments speak for themselves," Stansbury said Wednesday in a press release. "The thing that excites me the most about him is the work ethic and character that he has, and it starts at home with his father, Mike, who's kept him grounded and instilled that work ethic. There aren't many kids who've worked harder.

"I've seen it since his eighth-grade year at Bowling Green under Coach Sherrill when he helped lead them to a state championship. He plays for a great coach in Coach Birdsong now and one of the better programs in the state at Marshall County. We're excited to have him come back to Bowling Green and join our family."

Harmon was WKU's first pledge as part of the 2021 class. Elijah Hughey — a 6-foot-5 shooting guard out of Lancaster, Texas — also signed his NLI with the Hilltoppers on Wednesday.
