STILLWATER – Oklahoma State basketball coach Mike Boynton signed former Syracuse and Mt. Zion Prep basketball guard Woody Newton.

Newton, a former Rivals four-star recruit out of District Heights, Maryland, is coming off a freshman campaign for the Orange that included 46.4 percent shooting, a 38.9 percent clip from 3-point and averages of 3.5 points and 1.8 rebounds per game.

“We are looking forward to having Woody Newton in our program,” Boynton said. “His length, versatility and shot making ability will be an instant asset to our roster. Woody comes from a terrific family and has been well coached throughout his life. He fits our #LetsWork culture and is someone our fans will enjoy watching play in a Cowboy Uniform.”

Newton (6-8, 200, G/F, District Heights, Maryland) joins a Cowboy basketball team coming off a 21-win campaign that included a trip to the Big 12 Championship final, a first-round win in the NCAA Tournament and a 9-5 record against ranked opponents.

The author of back-to-back top-25 recruiting classes, Boynton has now signed nine players rated four or five stars since November of 2018.
