KENT – Transfer guard Dorian Jones has joined Kent State Men's Basketball. The Cleveland, Ohio native will join the Golden Flashes for the upcoming 2026-2027 season.
Jones comes to Kent State University from Rutgers University where he spent the 2025-2026 season redshirted. Jones came out of Richmond Heights High School ranked the No. 1 ranked recruit in the state of Ohio and 88th nationally via 247 Sports. He led the Spartans to three consecutive Ohio High School Athletic Association (OHSAA) Division IV state championships, playing a hand in Richmond Heights compiling an impressive 73-13 record over his first three high school seasons. During the 2024-2025 season he averaged 17.2 points per game and 14.1 points per game during the 2023-2024 season. He earned first-team All-Ohio honors in Division V for his play in both seasons, and was awarded Division IV Player of the Year in 2022-2023 after averaging 20.1 points per game.
"It's great to add Dorian to our roster.", said coach Senderoff. "I have watched him play at Richmond Heights all throughout his high school career and know how much talent and ability Dorian has. He is an excellent shooter; a high-level athlete with tremendous potential. He played for a state championship program with a great coach in Quenton Rogers. I am excited to get to work with Dorian and help him develop both on and off the court."
