Jameal York has had a long road to earning his NCAA membership as a student-athlete. After a stellar senior campaign at Edison High in 2009, Jameal earned Mr. Basketball by the Fresno Bee. Jameal went the National Junior College route with a stint at Western Texas College before transferring back to California for his sophomore season with Chabot College for the 2011-12 season. At Chabot, Jameal averaged 13.8 points and 4 assists per game, and earned Honorable Mention All-Conference in the competitive Coast-North Conference. The only thing preventing Jameal from earning his scholarship after his sophomore campaign was academics. Jameal spent the past year getting his academics in order to qualify for an NCAA program. Announced via facebook, "I'm a NCAA athlete now..." #NewBeginnin & "I committed to Southwest Baptist University...I'm blessed to get this second chance..."
Southwest Baptist University is located in Missouri and competes at the NCAA Division II level.
Congratulations and good luck as a SBU Bearcat Jameal.
