To have the opportunity to join them and be part of what they’ve already built is a huge honor for me.
Ashworth, from Lone Peak High School, averaged 4.5 assists and shot 43.4% on 3-pointers to rank sixth nationally. “His ability to stretch the floor with the 3-point shot and make great decisions with the pass is exactly what we were looking in the point guard position,” McDermott said. “In addition, he possesses the necessary leadership skills that fit perfectly with our returning players.”
