steady two-way guard with real playmaking juice for JWU Charlotte
In the 2025-26 season, Jordan Appling is a sophomore guard for Johnson & Wales (NC) who has already shown useful floor-general traits: in the season opener at VMI, he logged 29 minutes, scored 8 points, and handed out 5 assists. He also arrived from Providence Day School after helping lead a 25-9 team into the NCISAA 3A state title game. The appeal is his combo of size, poise, and passing feel at 6'3"—the kind of connector guard who can organize an offense, handle pressure, and fit as a culture-plus fit.
