Gatorade NM POY Turned Junior College Transfer Poised for Breakout at Northern New Mexico
Ja'Kwon Hill, the 2022 Gatorade New Mexico Boys Basketball Player of the Year, led Volcano Vista to a perfect 29-0 season with 18.1 PPG, 6 RPG, and 5 APG while boasting a 4.01 GPA—now a 6-0 junior guard transferring to Northern New Mexico Eagles after stints at Seton Hill and New Mexico Highlands. His elite free-throw shooting (83% HS, 90% AAU) and selfless playmaking shine, paired with a gritty, team-first mentality that pushes peers through adversity; a high-character leader ideal for programs valuing versatile guards who elevate rotations without ego.
