Detroit EEVP 2016 wing Jaylin McFadden to Ferris State

Ferris State landed a verbal commitment from Detroit East English Village Prep senior wing, Jaylin McFadden this morning per his head coach. The 6-4, 170-pounder recently visited Big Rapids, and it didn't take him long to figure where he wanted to play his college ball for the next four years.

"They wanted me, and had been on me hard," McFadden said of Ferris State. "I wanted to go somewhere I was wanted, and was on the top of their list. It's a very nice school. It's big, but small at the same time. The team is very cool, and the coaching staff is nice. It feels like East English Village."

A do-it-all type player for the Bulldogs last season, McFadden is an excellent defender with his height and length, and is versatile and athletic enough to play a number of positions. McFadden can play either shooting guard or small forward, which Ferris State coaches recruited him as, and is a steal. He once scored 50 points as a sophomore at Southfield (Mich.) Bradford Academy.

"Ferris is getting a player that is capable of everything," said McFadden. "I can score, pass, rebound, and block shots. Basically, I'm a player with a lot of energy that can do a lot of everything. And I'm a great team player."

Speaking of team, EEVP is incredibly loaded this season, especially in their senior class. So the Bulldogs will expect nothing but a deep run in both the city, and state playoffs. Along with McFadden's versatility, they have arguably the best shooter in the state, in Karmari Newman, IPFW commit Chris Rollins, point guard Nate Boleware, power forward Cedrick Lattimore (committed to Iowa for football), and junior standout, Greg Elliott. Expectations will be high for them in 2015-2016.

"We want to do whatever it takes to win," McFadden said. "Whether that's scoring, passing, rebounding, or clapping on the sideline. We stayed together to cause trouble for everyone else."
