ORLANDO – UCF head men's basketball coach Johnny Dawkins added Texas big man Ed'Xavior Rhodes to the Knights program, signing the Dallas forward to a National Letter of Intent on Monday.
A 6-foot-9 forward out of Dallas, Texas, Rhodes is rated as a three-star recruit by Rivals and has been ranked as one of the top power forwards in the class.
"Our staff is excited to bring Ed'Xavior in as a part of our UCF family," Dawkins said. "He's a skilled big man, who can do a lot of things on the basketball court. He runs the floor well, can defend the basket and can step outside and knock down a shot. We can't wait to get him here in Orlando."
Rhodes averaged 20 points, nine rebounds, and 2.5 blocks per game last season at Skyline High School in Dallas.
He joins P.J. Edwards and Darius Johnson in UCF's 2021-22 recruiting class. Johnson signed with the Knights back in November, while Edwards signed last Thursday.
