a long, athletic Samford wing who can defend, score in bursts, and swing a game
Brandon Austin’s calling card is his 6-5, 200-pound frame, athletic pop, and reputation as a potential lockdown wing defender; Samford described him as possibly the program’s most athletic player and its first true elite perimeter stopper in the 2017 signing class.[1] In his Samford career, he also showed real scoring juice—most notably a 31-point game against Wofford in the 2019 season—and ESPN lists him at 8.9 points, 3.0 rebounds, and 40.4% shooting for his college production overview.[1][3] He’s a fit if a team wants length, intensity, and versatility more than pure polish.[1][3]
