Blackwood’s offer came after he averaged 13.5 points per game at the Nike Elite Youth Basketball Session III in Indianapolis, In. over the weekend. While he’s currently ranked as a three-star player by most national recruiting outlets, ESPN has awarded him four stars.

Northwestern also sent Blackwood an offer on Sunday. Blackwood also has offers on the table from Boston College, Buffalo, George Washington, George Mason, Marquette and Sienna among others.
