WKU’s versatile 6-5 guard who crashes the glass and fills the stat sheet
In the 2025-26 season, Armelo Boone emerged as a do-it-all freshman for Western Kentucky, averaging 10.9 points, a team-high 6.1 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.3 steals in 24.4 minutes per game across 29 appearances with 11 starts.[1][7] The big takeaway: he’s a physical, multi-positional guard at 6-5 who brings rebounding, defensive activity and toughness, with a track record as a high-volume scorer in high school and enough playmaking to fit into an up-tempo, versatile system.[1][5][10]
