Hopkinsville High School senior guard Jordan Majors, who scored a team-high 20 points in the Tigers' 74-52 victory over South Oldham in the first round of the Boys' Sweet 16 Wednesday night, is being evaluated as a potential walk-on candidate at the University of Kentucky, Hoptown coach Tim Haworth said.
Haworth said he called UK assistant Orlando Antigua recently to tell him that Majors, a 6-foot-2 player who averaged a team-high 21.6 points heading into the tournament, has been accepted to UK and has already earned a full academic scholarship to the school.
“We're hoping walking on at UK will be a real good possibility because that's what he really wants to do,” Haworth said.
