SEATTLE – Washington head men’s basketball coach Danny Sprinkle announced the first addition to the 2024-25 roster as Mekhi Mason joined the Rice Huskies.
Mason, a 6’5″ guard from Gilbert, Arizona, started all 67 games in two seasons with the Owls. He ranked second on the team in scoring, averaging 14.0 points per game and 4.0 rebounds per game as a sophomore last season.
“We are delighted to add Mekhi Mason to our team,” Sprinkle said. “He is an extremely athletic guard who can impact the game in multiple ways. Mekhi is dedicated to success in basketball and the classroom and will be a great fit in Washington. His potential is unlimited because he is still very young for his age, and I see him taking a huge leap forward.”
Mason shot 38.6 percent from three-point range in conference play last season, ranking in the top ten in the American Athletic Conference. Mason scored a career-high 30 points last February against UTSA, earning AAC Player of the Week honors. He was named to the Conference USA All-Freshman team in his first collegiate season.
