(Lawrenceburg, Ind.) – One of the best basketball players in Lawrenceburg High School history has made his college declaration.

Gavin Yoon announced Tuesday via Twitter that he has committed to Taylor University in Upland, Indiana.

Yoon is a four-year varsity letterman, three-time All-EIAC selection, three-time All-Rivertown Classic selection and 2020 Rivertown Classic MVP.

As a senior, Yoon averaged 21.5 points, 4.6 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game, earning all-state honorable mention from the Indiana Basketball Coaches Association.
