BIRMINGHAM – UAB men's basketball head coach Andy Kennedy announced the signing of JUCO guard Dayjaun Anderson on Thursday.
"Dayjaun is a tremendous addition to Blazer basketball." Kennedy said, "He was one of the most efficient scorers in junior college last season. His shot making ability will help him make an immediate impact next season."
The Dayton, Ohio native averaged 17.8 points and 4.5 rebounds per game while shooting 42.5 percent from the field at Triton College while leading the Trojans to a 29-6 record. He scored 20+ points 11 times this season including a career high of 31 points against Shawnee Area while also scoring in double figures in 32 of 35 games. Anderson was recognized as an NJCAA first team All-American following the season.
Anderson knocked down 122 threes while shooting at a 37.3 percent clip, finishing second in NJCAA DI in three-point field goals made while leading Region 4. He knocked down nine threes in a single game against Truman College while knocking down five or more threes in 13 games.
He began his career at Wright State where he redshirted during the 2023-24 season.
At Ponitz High School, Anderson averaged 18.0 points, 7.3 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 2.4 steals per game and earned Dayton Public Schools League Most Valuable Player honors. During his junior season he posted 19.5 points, 3.8 rebounds, and 2.5 assists while earning Dayton Public Schools Offensive Player of the Year recognition.
Anderson joins fellow JUCO All-American Evan Chatman along with high school signees Lance Carr and Salim London in the Blazers' 2025 class.
