Western Kentucky's second Class of 2021 commit — Lancaster, Texas shooting guard Elijah Hughey — signed his National Letter of Intent on Wednesday to play for Coach Rick Stansbury and the Hilltoppers.
Hughey, a 6-foot-5, 195-pound prospect, committed to WKU on Sept. 28, choosing the Hilltoppers over Jacksonville State and Oakland. He doesn't have a star rating by Rivals.
"We're excited to have Elijah join our family," Stansbury said Thursday in a press release. "He'll be playing for one of the top programs in Texas this year under Coach Ferrin Douglas, and also he's played for one of the better AAU coaches in the state of Texas in Darius Coleman. What stands out about him is his ability to shoot and score the basketball. He brings a great work ethic and toughness to your program that's been instilled in him by his family."
Hughey joins four-star point guard Zion Harmon as WKU's two signees as part of the 2021 class.
