Eastern Washington University Athletics

Hayford on Wearne: “Michael is a very athletic, quick guard. He can penetrate and get to the rim, and we think he is capable of being a lead guard in our fast-break offense. He is a big physical guard who can grow into a top guard in the Big Sky Conference.”
 
2015-16: He made his collegiate debut versus George Fox (11/15/15), finishing with four points, four assists and four rebounds. He also played versus Seattle (11/23/15), however, was forced to redshirt because of a hip injury requiring surgery.
 
High School/Club: Graduated from Box Hill High School in 2015. He was selected to play on the U18 VIC Metro team that represented Victoria at the Australia Championships in Brisbane. He led his team to an undefeated record and the championship. Was his team’s MVP three times at Box Hill, where as a junior he averaged 22 points, eight rebounds and 5.5 assists per game. He also played club basketball for the Dandenong Rangers in the South East Australian Basketball League (SEABL), the same club former Eagle Venky Jois played for prior to coming to Eastern in the fall of 2012. Eastern teammate Mason Peatling also played for Dandenong.
